Pinsky (2017): Besetzung, Handlung & Streaming

Released in 2017, Pinsky is a notable film directed by Amanda Lundquist, running about 72 minutes.

What it’s about. Sophia Pinsky seems like a functioning adult. But when she loses her girlfriend and her grandfa-ther in the same day and moves back in with her authoritarian Russian grandmother, Marina, everything she thought she’d escaped is waiting to welcome her back with open arms. Thrilled to have Sophia under her influence again, and obsessed with finding her a proper (male) part-ner, Marina conspires to marry her off to Trevor, a nice Jewish boy Sophia has known since they were in diapers. After the date with him is a dud, Sophia finds her way to a weekly open mic night, where on a whim she gets on stage and discovers there’s actually an audience for her Queer-Russian-Jewish-American sense of humor. Everything comes to a head at the family Shabbat dinner when Sophia and Trevor try to humiliate Marina by pretending to have fallen for each other, unaware that Marina is planning her own announcement.

How it landed. With an audience score of 5.5/10, Pinsky has drawn a solid, mixed-to-positive response.
