ABOUT PIE

Cinemavixion Review

In "About Pie," director Joshua M. Lester crafts a charming, if somewhat niche, coming-of-age narrative that playfully explores the often-awkward landscape of modern romance. The film centers on a young man whose unconventional dating philosophy—that pie is the ultimate first-date companion—serves as the catalyst for a series of endearing, vignette-style encounters. As he navigates these social interactions, he meets a diverse array of individuals and, fittingly, samples a variety of pies, each interaction a potential stepping stone in his personal growth. While the local data provides a concise summary, the external data reveals a runtime of 87 minutes and highlights a surprisingly strong critical reception on Rotten Tomatoes with a 100% score, contrasting with a more middling 5.0/10 on IMDb. Despite its modest presentation, "About Pie" offers a sweet and quirky reflection on connection and the simple pleasures that can facilitate it.
