Abandoned at a young age, Mitsy was left to be brought up by Bride, her mercurial grandmother. Now a teenager, Mitsy dreams of becoming a hairdresser, but her current emotional well-being revolves around an unwanted canine to whom she has become hopelessly attached. Her life is shaken again when her mother returns. Sherry White’s feature debut is a delicate, sharply observed character study full of evocative moments and raw human emotion, and features exceptional performances by Meghan Greeley as Mitsy and Mary Walsh as Bride.

Panel Statement
This astute, affecting and impressive debut feature is as idiosyncratic and intelligent as its protagonist, a young woman in Newfoundland searching for both her past and her future. With its equal measures of grit and poetry, toughness and compassion, Crackie announces the auspicious arrival not only of a compelling new Canadian cinematic heroine, but also that of her talented creator, Sherry White.
