The Flying Scissors

The film constructs its comedy on the stark contrast between the inherent absurdity of professional Rock-Paper-Scissors and the profound seriousness of its competitors. It relies on a mockumentary style to explore how even the simplest pastime can develop its own subculture, rituals, and heroes.

What lingers after the credits is a surprising sense of respect for the passion of these unlikely athletes. The film finds genuine humor and heart in the most mundane of competitions. — MovieFinder Editorial
