"The transitory entertainment business just isn't what it use to be"
There's several underlying themes in this movie. From being an outcast, to someone feeling alien in their own body, the want to be accepted for being our true selves. But it all felt very literal and there were a lot of old and used tropes that dragged it down from what could have been an amazing film.
This film is a GEM!
I had the pleasure of catching this fun adventure tale at the Woodstock Film Festival. AWESOME CROWDPLEASER! See this wonderful little tale!
Touching
This is a touching story about a boy who tries to navigate a very hard life. It's not as bleak as it could be, which is a good thing.
I decided that I'm a trueJaeden Martell fan.
"I don't want to meet others like me."
-"Why?"
"Because I hate me"
I honestly had no high expectations to be completely honest but this was surprising. It is a really good coming of age story, that has a very unique twist on the whole not fit in Athough it follow the same tropes, it does feel fresh, and exciting mainly because of the direction, which is honestly really good. it is veryentertaining and enjoyable and have a very universal message, and it is very heartwarming and beautiful with gorgeous cinematography. The performances by the cast are great and it has a very wholsome and beautiful ending. The first act is a bit rushed but the 2nd and 3rd act are really great.

A story of friendship and acceptance
An unusual tale with unexpected turns. Good acting and a story to make you think.
Did you know
- TriviaFilmed in September 2017, it took two years to be shown in film festivals (July and December 2019) and three years to get a U.S. release (October 2020). That's why Jaeden Martell looked so much younger. He was 14 during filming and 17 when it was finally released in the U.S.
- Crazy creditsThe credits feature a melancholy dance sequence featuring Mr. Silk and members of the traveling circus.
