Writer-director Lana Grey (a frequent collaborator with Girlfriends Films) describes Bambi Blitz as "if John Woo directed a Hallmark special written by Quentin Tarantino." The plot is deceptively simple: Wendy (Hot) plays "Bambi," a former child star who played the titular fawn in a forgotten 80s forest fantasy. Now in her 40s, broke and bitter, she learns that a faceless megacorporation (led by a villain played with gleeful menace by veteran character actor Ron Perlman) is bulldozing the actual forest where the original film was shot.
The "Blitz" isn't a military attack. It’s a one-woman guerrilla war. Bambi doesn't use guns. She uses forestry equipment—nail guns, wood chippers, and a modified stump grinder she calls "Thumper."
What makes Bambi Blitz work is that Girlfriends Films never forgets its core strength: human intimacy. Amidst the chaos, there are long, quiet scenes. Bambi visits the grave of her co-star (a man who played "Flower" the skunk, now a depressed alcoholic). She leaves a single acorn. She has a whispered, heartbreaking phone call with her estranged daughter (played by newcomer Iris May). girlfriendsfilms 24 11 29 bambi blitz and wendy hot
The violence, when it comes, is shocking precisely because the quiet moments feel so real. This isn't John Wick. This is a film about grief weaponized.
Does Bambi Blitz work? Unevenly, gloriously, yes. The first act drags as it sets up the logging company’s evil boardroom. A subplot involving a vegan hacker feels like it wandered in from a different movie. But the final 20 minutes—a "blitz" through a lumber mill set to a distorted version of "Love is a Song"—is pure, cathartic cinema. This article is a work of creative fiction
Girlfriends Films has done something rare. They’ve taken a childhood symbol of innocence, a character named Wendy who refuses to stay "hot" for the male gaze, and a title that sounds like a bad joke, and turned it into a howl of rage against the erasure of memory and nature.
