This is a warm and sensitive portrait of a young mother reconnecting with her inner child through her own daughter. We are reminded here that age and experience are but cycles in the human experience and this work is a snapshot of that cycle closing on itself. Prodigy is a beautifully shot and conceived short film that carries most of it's dramatic impact in between the dialogue. The emotional arc is smooth, calculated and well designed. The actors are believable and do a fine job. The music is a character in this piece so as to the score I would say it is handled as such. A truly delightful ride. I enjoyed it immensely.
