Origin Story. A young Muslim woman runs away from her aunt and uncle's house desperate for a new life, but quickly finds that she must survive on the street. A disturbed young man from Coney Island dons the menacing "Funny Face" mask, transforming himself into a makeshift superhero with a rage disorder as he seeks revenge on the Real Estate Developer of a soulless high rise that has displaced his grandparents. Misfit avengers in a changing city, the two embark on a neighborhood odyssey that brings danger, love, and tragedy. And pickles.

The director's gifted collaborators sometimes perk up this listless parable, but never enough to sell its second-hand fatalism.

4/10

The storytelling moves at a listless pace and never finds one invested in any of the stakes or motivations.

Funny Face can be appealing in the moments where it luxuriates in mood and the South Brooklyn landscape, but ... too often punctured by stabs at explicit (shallow) commentary.
