But most importantly, Alli, the creature that Tinja hatches, is incredible. The production design is pink and frilly.

The creature that emerges becomes a mirror of her darker, more turbulent emotions and wish-fulfillment. One day Tinja finds an egg in the forest and nurtures it until it hatches. A satirical commentary on puberty, girlhood, and the pressures placed on girls by their family (and by society), Hatching tells the story of Tinja-a young girl struggling to live up to her mother’s (a popular mommy blogger) strict expectations.

The Vigil is an intimate haunted house story steeped in Orthodox Jewish Mysticism. ![]()
