Balloon Animal

This movie is such a well done and emotionally honest coming of age film set in a family circus. The cinematography is absolutely breathtaking and the characters are complicated and well rounded. I loved the relationship dynamic between Dark and Poppy and how you see them struggling to connect and be understood by each other. There is an element of romance for the main character, Poppy, but it is not the sole focus of her journey. Instead I think there is a great balance of self discovery and desire that comes to the forefront of her interactions with the love interest, Drew. The writing, direction, and performances make it 10000% worth and watch and I can't wait to see more by these creators in the future!
