Small, Beautifully Moving Parts by Annie J. Howell and Lisa Robinson (US, 2012, 73 min.). When technophile Sarah Sparks becomes pregnant, her uncertainties about motherhood trigger an impulsive road trip to the source of her anxiety: her long-estranged mother living far away and off-the-grid. A SXSW premiere and winner of the Sloan Feature Film Prize, Annie J. Howell and Lisa Robinson co-direct this comic coming-of-parenthood tale for the internet age.

In “Small, Beautifully Moving Parts,” a bland, insistently amiable comedy that doubles as road movie, Anna Margaret Hollyman has to spend most of her scenes looking cutely vexed. You’d look vexed, too, if you had to act a scene involving a fantasy Skype conversation with the ultrasound image of your unborn child or another where you discuss your relationship with your mother with a rental-car GPS. It’s a tribute to how appealing Hollyman is — if Renée Zellweger were still Renée Zellweger, she’d be Hollyman — that she hardly ever gets annoying, which is more than can be said for the movie she stars in.
