As the movie's tone teeters awkwardly between farce and tragedy, tenderness and bloody vengeance, it's the performances that root it...

...there's very little room for nuance or anything once she becomes a mouthpiece for her director, rather than a character.

"Judy & Punch" is a promising debut for Foulkes, and it's always nice to see the tables turned on centuries of mistreatment.

"Judy and Punch" feeds on the comic violence that has always informed this material, and finds any number of amusing ways to weaponize it against the irredeemable puppetmaster who's due to become the butt of his own joke.

Rating: 3.5/5 --
Director Mirrah Foulkes takes the traditionally violent slapstick of the Punch and Judy puppet play and turns it on its head in a female-driven, darkly funny fable Judy & Punch.

Cinema Axis
Mirrah Foulkes deserves credit for creating this strange stew, and for eliciting tremendous performances from stars Mia Wasikowska and Damon Herriman.

Product Description:
This black comedy-drama film is the directorial debut of actor-scriptwriter Mirrah Foulkes which reimagines a possible origin story for the traveling puppet show known as the Punch and Judy act. Mia Wasikowska plays Judy while Damon Herriman plays Punch, two married puppeteers based in Seaside, England. Punch's uncontrollable drinking problem results in the accidental death of their baby and an assault on Judy, who was left for dead. Punch puts on a show for their town to pretend that witches killed his wife and baby. But Judy is very much alive and now seeks revenge against Punch.
