The Black Baloon (2008)


When Thomas (Rhys Wakefield) and his family move to a new home and he has to start at a new school, all he wants is to fit in. When his pregnant Mother (Toni Collette) has to take it easy, he is put in charge of his autistic older brother Charlie (Luke Ford). Thomas with the help of his new girlfriend Jackie (Gemma Ward) faces his biggest challenge yet. Charlie’s unusual antics take Thomas on an emotional journey that cause his pent-up frustrations about his brother to pour out.

THE BLACK BALLOON is an earthy depiction of an adolescent autistic boy and how his family copes up with him in their daily lives. It is a tender portrait of love under pressure within and outside of the immediate family. Outstanding story & direction and great portrayals from the lead cast are the keys to your unforgettable viewing pleasure. It is a very realistic film that should be digested by every human being!
