Black Balloon (at Nova Cinema)



It is interesting how small things can turn a little movie into a great one. I just saw the Australian flick called ‘Black Balloon’ and it was very funny and heart-warming. A coming of age story about fitting in, discovering teenage love and accepting your family. The choice of actors, the choice of filming angles, the set-up, everything made this movie extremely touching. The whole project could also have turned sour because of the subject – the main character being autistic – but you can’t keep bearing a smile all through (to the exception of a few tears here and there). Highly recommended.
