6 palloncini

I watched it all the way through. While it was a fairly accurate take on what it's like to love an addict, it's also incredibly underwhelming.

On the surface we think we're looking at one addict but there's really 2. Good performances and Dace Franco's junkie is real and raw - from the desperate to the euphoric. A small gem.

This was a great film that showed the life of what the addict goes through and also the life of what the family goes through. This movie is very accurate to what goes on in real life. Being close to someone who was addicted to heroin this movie was an accurate description of the diffrent phases I saw him go through.

It really shows how the sister was willing to do anything for her brother. A relationship between a brother and a sister is probably one of the closest relationships you can have. And even though I did not intially like the voice narative, chapter one, chapter two...in the end it came together and made perfect sense.

I definitely recommend this movie. It's really sad, especially if it hits home for you. But it opens up your eyes and helps you realize what you sometimes do, what you can do and what you probably should do in a situation like this.

I say "surprisingly" because I usually rely on Metacritic scores, which were just OK for this one, with less than 10 reviewers being counted on for their score. But at just 74 minutes, it was so short that I wanted to watch it. And even though I knew it was a drama, I like Abbi Jacobson from "Broad City," and wanted to see what she would be like in this role. She was very good, as was Dave Franco, who I don't normally care for. And there was a real chemistry between the two of them. "6 Balloons" is intentionally uncomfortable to watch, but it was a good story, and very well-acted by everyone, but especially by Jacobson and Franco.

This film tells the story of a young woman who discovers that her brother is back on heroin.

As she drives around for a detox centre, it is clear that she really wants him to stay abstinent from heroin. However, the film takes a turn and then I just got confused. Is she becoming complicit of the crimes? Later, she changes her mind again. I got really confused.

In addition, the audio book and underwater scenes that keep on being played are really annoying. It brings the whole mood down, and truncates the continuity of the story. I must have missed some important imagery and messages. I was not sure what the message of the film is.
