Overview
Sarah Sparks is pregnant and feeling wholly ambivalent, despite her boyfriend's pure enthusiasm. A committed tech-geek, she fears she is more interested in ultrasound technology than in what's being ultra-sounded. When her sister lures her to L.A. for what ends up being a terrorizing baby shower, Sarah keeps her rental van and hits the road in search of the source of her anxiety: her estranged mother, now living off the grid. Small, Beautifully Moving Parts takes a comical, yet poignant look at one woman's coming-of-parenthood in the age of technology.
This movie managed to fit 15 minutes worth of movie into a 70 minute runtime. Congrats, you made a movie. It seems that so many of these indie movies feature a road trip because they can’t come with with more story or dialog. This movie featured a bunch of wandering around while we waited for the finale. And when the finale came…. woof. I think the acting was actually pretty decent but it couldn’t overcome a hollow story and premise.
