On the Call Her Daddy podcast, Brittany Snow mentions the association of milkshakes as reward to an achievement and what became of this seemingly unconscious yet dangerous association for her and her relationship with validation, food and the business thereafter. As well as superficially discusses her childhood and family. The added context makes of this particular story experience even rawer. Add to it the performances, how Anna Camp nailed her role as the mother that lives vicariously through her daughter and Shree Crooks as the recipient of these expectations and frustrations, and you get something that, though not the most powerful punch without external information to fill in some blanks, is still an excellently done film.

Milkshake makes for a mist-see, beautiful and deeply underrated precursory glimpse into Snow's storytelling talent and directorial debut, prior to Parachute.
