Deep with a strong message, Pin Cushion talks about school harrassement, hits our minds very easily... Not everyone knows what's happening, so after watching when you talk about it, you learn new things about the move !

Todd Solondz couldn't dream up characters as mundanely wicked as those that populate this film.

Pin Cushion may deconstruct its two heroines' delusions, even their madness, but in doing so, it also exposes the ills of the society beyond, from which we viewers, ourselves fantasists too, hope vainly to see these endearing characters protected.

In Pin Cushion, writer/director Deborah Haywood tells a beautiful and thoroughly heartbreaking story of two people who cannot seem to escape these bullies, and the terrible strain it puts on them and their relationship.

At its core, this is a story about bullying and mental illness and being disconnected from reality.

Taking a very dark turn late in the second act, Pin Cushion's eccentric craft-fair aesthetic is ultimately protective cushioning wrapped around a broken heart.

Pin Cushion is most emotionally piercing in depicting the daily ways in which the world still punishes this loving, mild-as-milk woman for her difference.

Pin Cushion is a whimsical and achingly sad story.

Pin Cushion cannot easily be categorized. The experience is overwhelmingly melancholy and simultaneously hopeful. You don't know for sure that Iona's life is going to get better, but you're rooting for her every step of the way.
