Grace Mulvey: Gigantica
Grace Mulvey has a massive head. Physically. Not egotistically. (Sure, only men can do that). But unfortunately, it’s her dad’s fault. In Gigantica, directed by Alison Spittle, Grace tackles a question no one else is brave enough to ask: is it an insult to tell a woman she looks like her dad?
From her toddler niece getting a boyfriend before her, to millennial women “going woo woo”, to navigating her dad’s dementia, where her gigantic head becomes the only thing he reliably recognises, Grace blends the personal with the absurd in a way that is both laugh-out-loud funny and quietly devastating.
