| Fitting in could never be harder! |
| How awesome is Toni Collette? She’s now ‘big name’ enough to just gorge on big budget blockbusters, yet she always finds time to do great, lower budget Aussie flicks like The Black Balloon, and always gives it her all. Thomas (Rhys Wakefield) and his family have just moved to a new town and his main aim is to fit in. This is made difficult, however, when he’s left in charge of his autistic older brother Charlie (Luke Ford), as his mum (Toni Collette) is very pregnant and has to take it easy. Along with his new girlfriend (Gemma Ward), Thomas is launched on a confronting emotional journey fuelled by his brother’s sometimes bizarre antics. The Black Balloon is a heart-warming tale that deftly weaves comedy and drama together – it’s also one of the year’s best Aussie films. Don’t miss it!
