The Toll Collector Trailers

A parable about a thwarted dream. A narrator tells us about a young woman who wants, more than anything, to be a ballerina. Thanks to animation, we see the problem: her legs make up about three-quarters of her height. She sees the impossibility of her dream and moves to a house on an isolated hill where she lives by herself, lonely, practicing her art, and then, in near despair, taking up knitting. Madness seems close at hand, but is there anything that can bring hope and pull her from her solitary, circumscribed life?

Lack of good storyline.

Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Rachel Johnson has made a beautiful movie about a woman with unnatural long legs that make her feel and live isolated. She longs to become a ballerina, but that's an impossible task with her body...This movie reminded me a little of Tim Burton in it's style. Hopefully Rachel Johnson will be able to produce a bigger movie anytime soon.
