Until Branches Bend, the feature debut of writer-director Sophie Jarvis, may sound like the basis for an Erin Bockovich-style drama of a lone woman finding the strength within her to take on the powers that be. However, the film does not quite go down that particular path. This iteration depicts Robin as someone a little off right from the start; someone who cannot hold up under the pressure and scrutiny. Too often, she acts as her own worst enemy. Her obsession with proving herself in the face of the naysayers threatens to tip over into total mental disintegration. Glowicki’s gripping portrayal of Robin as a walking open nerve significantly helps this interesting take on the formula. Admittedly, there are times when this approach may prove a bit frustrating for some viewers. A subplot involving an unplanned pregnancy, in particular, stands out. Still, for the most part, this is a fairly well-made drama about the price paid for doing the right thing. It will stick in the mind afterward, especially the next time you bite into a peach.
