Hippo

Published: Aug. 25, 2023, 3 p.m.

I was able to watch this film as part of the Fantasia International Film Festival. I knew nothing going in, picked the film solely on the title. According to IMDb Hippo, a peculiar adolescent, and his Hungarian step-sister Buttercup struggle to come of age in late 1990s America, under the roof of a mother who has been institutionalized at least once. The film was directed by Mark H. Rapaport, who co-wrote the film with Kimball Farley, who was the lead actor in the film. It also stars Lilla Kizlinger, Eliza Roberts, Jesse Pimentel, Vann Barrett and is narrated by Eric Roberts.
