DEF RECOMMENDS: ADULT LIFE SKILLS (2016) Features writer Oliver Webb gives an indie gem the thumbs up 30
somehow missed this understated black comedy from Rachel Tunnard upon its release in 2016. The ever-brilliant Jodie Whittaker plays Anna, a hermit living in her mum’s garden shed after the death of her twin brother. Anna works at a local children’s rec centre and spends her free time making homemade movies with her thumbs. Feeling the pressure to move on with her life, Anna is given an ultimatum by
her mum, to move out of the shed before her 30th birthday. A poignant tale of grief and the healing process, Adult Life Skills is a powerful debut feature, and I’m hoping we one day get to see more work from Tunnard (who wrote, directed and edited the film). It also felt apt watching this British indie gem for the first time shortly before my own 30th birthday (although at time of writing I don’t live in my parent’s shed).
