Heartfelt coming of age film done the Pixar way
Turning Red is an inspirational drama about a teenage girl who has to overcome her own inner struggles and the pressures of fitting in. It follows the journey of one girl, played by China Anne McClain, in the small town of Fairpoint, Texas, who is dealing with transitioning into adulthood, finding her own identity and becoming comfortable with who she is.
The movie focuses on her relationships with her family, friends, and even strangers. It's especially touching that she learns to embrace her strengths and weaknesses with the help of her mother and her best friend.
The visuals in Turning Red are simply stunning, highlighting the small town with bright colors and a rural charm that will instantly make viewers feel at home. The acting is also great, with McClain's performance being particularly impressive.
Overall, Turning Red is a delightful film that is sure to leave viewers feeling thankful for the things that make us who we are and the people who have helped us become who we are today. It's a heartfelt coming-of-age story that will stay with viewers for a long time. Highly recommended. - annaan-51411 - 17 December 2022
This is a story about courage and rebellion
I cried watching it because any asian can relate to this. The movie is not about period! It is about rebellion and courage and finding your own voice. This movie remind me of another movie, Precious. They both tackled a difficult topic, bringing two sided view on the topic of growing pain and abuse. Love this movie. I'm so glad I watched this movie before I decided how to raise my child, It gave a chance to look at myself and the way my culture from a third person view. If you did not grow in a immigrate family or raised from asian cultures, this is a little hard to relate to it. But it is a movie that still worth to watch.
