Bus Girl

2/11/2023

"June" (Jessica Henwick) travels to and from her restaurant workplace by bus, dreaming that one day she will be able to prepare the perfect dish. Unexpectedly, on one quite evening, a legendary food critic descends on the ill-prepared establishment and with the regular staff elsewhere, she has to quickly rustle up a dish that will dazzle their picky guest. Can she rise to the occasion? I found this all a bit too simplistic and I suspect there are many lifers working in the restaurant trade yelling at their screens - but it's a nicely put together and scored few minutes of dreamwork for this creative star/director. Not great, but maybe we shall see more from Henwick?
