The Black Balloon

Yesterday we watched the movie The Black Balloon, starring Rhys Wakefield, Gemma Ward and Toni Collette to mention some. Although I'm a fan of Toni Collette's work, Gemma definitely drew me towards watching the movie, as she is one of my all time favorite models.



The movie is about a teenager, Thomas, who lives with his autistic older brother Charlie, his pregnant mother and father who works in the army (which means he's barely at home). Like any family, this one experience a lot of downs and ups. Among other things, Thomas is having a hard time being the brother of someone with autism. He eventually meets Jackie and his life turns for the better...

I adored the movie, it was beautiful.
