Store credit doesn't cut it.

'Chicken (2020)' is a short film about a woman who is overcharged for a chicken at her local store and has to enlist the help of her much more street-wise daughter to sort it out. The film deals with themes of racism and gaslighting, yet does so in a relatively light way; the issues aren't trivialised, but they're explored in an entertaining way. The flick has a quirky tone to it, with dialogue that somewhat contradicts the naturalistic nature of the performances. There's also a specific character that's quite over-the-top and feels much more overtly comedic. The affair is enjoyable throughout. It's also surprisingly satisfying and should leave you with a smile on your face. 7/10
