The Pickle Man (heavy spoilers)


Didn't everybody guess that the Pickle Man was the real father at least half-way through the movie? And, how could Director Rebecca Miller not have a scene where the tot was munching on a gerkin! 😀

There are several visual hints as well, such as the rubik's cube pillow and other scenes with her and numbers.

And the way he was looking at Maggie's daughter when he met them at the market, you could totally tell he was thinking that she was his kid.

reply

Do we see her self inseminate as I wasn't really paying attention.

I agree when he sees her daughter, he looks convinced the child is his.

reply

We don't actually see it, but it's fairly obvious that she has done it when she crab-walks out of the bathroom, uses the intercom with her foot, and then gives an "Oh, shooooot!" when she stands up.

reply

Plus she says she did inseminate when talking to the new guy. She thought she ruined it when she stood up so that's why she said and thought it didn't work.

I figured it out from the beginning because that's how predictable films like this operate. I think your subject line in itself is a spoiler, but I don't think it really matters because there's very little to spoil here.

Pickle man needs to lose the beard and the dumb hat.
