Quiz Lady (2023)


An introverted woman devotes herself to a quiet life watching her favorite quiz show every night. When her dog is kidnapped by a loan shark asking to pay off her estranged mother's gambling debts, she is forced on an unwilling road trip to audition for the show. This was a really entertaining watch. As a game show aficionado myself, I could easily put myself in her shoes of never having the guts to actually go through with it. Sandra Oh is a delight as the big sister who doesn't have her shit together, yet coerces her out of her comfort zone. It's a very funny film that reveals a surprisingly sweet story at its heart.
