"Tendaberry is an independent film about a young woman from Coney Island whose life takes a sudden turn: she discovers she’s pregnant at the same time she stops hearing from her boyfriend, who had gone back to Ukraine to care for his sick father. It’s a beautiful film with a somewhat experimental style, using dreamlike editing and voice-over narration to portray its protagonist, who is torn between clinging to the past and facing the uncertainty of the future with open arms."
