Show more >> Avocado Toast is a quirky film that attempts to tackle the awkwardness surrounding family and sexuality with a comedic twist. Molly's journey of falling in love with a woman for the first time is relatable, yet the film sometimes feels like it’s trying too hard to be edgy with its swinger parents subplot. While there are moments of genuine humour and insight, the pacing can feel uneven, and some character arcs don't quite land. The performances are enjoyable, particularly from the leads, but overall, it lacks the depth one might hope for. It's entertaining enough for a casual watch, but don’t expect anything groundbreaking.
