Turning Green

Set in late 1970s Ireland, it tells the story of 16-year-old James Powers, an American who finds himself lost after his mother dies and he is forced to live with his three Irish aunts. Displaced and depressed, he longs for a way to make it back to America. One lucky weekend in London, James discovers pornography and, desperate for cash, he decides to sell them back in Ireland. His success spreads wildly. After finding a possible way home, he must decide where home really is, and finds that one's place in the world is all a state of mind.

My take

A darkly comedic indie film that captures the absurdist humor and existential angst of early 2000s alternative cinema. It's perfect for viewers seeking offbeat, quirky storytelling that doesn't take itself too seriously.
