If you loved Meet the Malawas, try The New Toy

A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.

What they share

Both films are directed by James Huth, and they both carry the outsider, playful mood tags, and they sit in Comedy territory. If that's the register that drew you to Meet the Malawas, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What The New Toy is

The film presents a luxury department store owner treating a ten-year-old to a one-time-only birthday shopping spree that takes an unexpected turn. The boy picks Samy, the night watchman, as his new toy. It’s a whimsical premise that somehow still forgets these are people.
