Judy & Punch

Judy (Mia Wasikowska) may be a more skilful puppeteer than Punch (Damon Herriman), but it's her loutish husband who earns the accolades for their balletic marionette-on-marionette violence. Such is the state of patriarchal affairs in their lawless, landlocked town of Seaside. And while Judy demonstrates a remarkably high tolerance for indignity, we learn what she can't abide when Punch's rampant alcoholism leads to an utterly unforgivable (albeit brilliantly staged) accident.
