An adolescent boy from a most idiosyncratic family attempts to adjust to his new neighborhood as his 16th birthday looms on the horizon in this family drama from director Elissa Down. Thomas is about to turn 16, and as if adjusting to a new neighborhood, a new school, and new friends isn't enough for a teenage boy to contend with, his family is about as unpredictable as they come. His autistic older brother, Charlie, suffers from ADD, and attends a special school on the days that he actually chooses to go. His father, Simon, is an enormous cricket fan who is prone to holding intense discussions with his teddy bear, and his mother, Maggie, is a free spirit who sleeps with pretty much whomever she pleases. Recently, Thomas' mother revealed that she is pregnant. As a result, Thomas finds himself looking after Charlie much more frequently than usual. When Charlie strips half-naked and dashes into the neighbor's house in search of a bathroom, Thomas storms in after him and encounters pretty classmate Jackie -- who is currently attempting to take a shower. Mortified, Thomas begins to realize that he might not be capable of caring for Charlie. Later at school, Thomas realizes that he'll have to learn to swim before he earns his lifesaving badge. Of course, every student in class needs to have a partner, and it just so happens that Thomas' partner is a pretty fellow pupil named Jackie. ~ Jason Buchanan, Rovi

Some New Trailer For The Black Balloon
New Review For Movie The Black Balloon
Thomas and Jackie's friendship, blossoming into a chaste romance, is the dramatic engine that powers The Black Balloon, but it's far from the most important relationship in the film.
Michael O'Sullivan-Washington Post

The film's vision is neither a grim wallow nor falsely cheerful. It's compassionate but unblinking, and in the end we can't help but admire the genuine strength of how its characters accept their special challenge.
Walter V. Addiego-San Francisco Chronicle

At its sharpest Elissa Down's feature directorial debut is guided by intense, rough-edged emotional swings that feel authentically alive, even when the script settles for tidiness.
Michael Phillips-Chicago Tribune

The Black Balloon establishes this family with a delicate mixture of tenderness and pain.
Roger Ebert-Chicago Sun-Times

There are wrenching scenes that are brutally stark, yet there remains a steady sense of calm that is touching and sensitive without ever turning sentimental.
Ted Fry-Seattle Times

Structurally and cinematically, The Black Balloon sticks to the coming-of-age basics, but [director] Down has a gift for conveying time and place.
Ty Burr-Boston Globe

Autism is a subject most filmmakers fear to broach, but not Aussie newcomer Elissa Down, she attacks the issue with honesty and passion.
Al Alexander-The Patriot Ledger

It's a well-meaning film, marked by Luke Ford's sensitive portrayal of a disabled character. But the main character is bland, imparting the same vibe on the rest of the film.
Mike Scott-Times-Picayune

The Black Balloon is neither 'Rain Man' nor 'The Other Sister. This Aussie charmer charts its own course.
Christian Toto-What Would Toto Watch?

Wakefield anchors the well-paced quieter moments.
Alicia Potter-Boston Phoenix

The Black Balloon is marked by the fiercest bravery you're likely to encounter on screen this year.
Graham Killeen-Milwaukee Journal Sentinel

A film that mostly skirts artifice and sentimentality for a truer portrait of a family battered and bruised but nowhere near broken.
Kimberley Jones-Austin Chronicle

The outlines are broad and obvious, and Thomas such a bore, that The Black Balloon loses air.
Phil Villarreal-Arizona Daily Star

It sometimes skirts melodrama territory, but the deep emotions ultimately are real and gratifying. Dependable Toni Collette keeps it grounded, disappearing into her role as the incredibly patient mother.
Stan Hall-Oregonian

Collette aside, there is no wow factor in The Black Balloon -- just a not-bad story told with better-than-average skill.
Chris Hewitt (St. Paul)-St. Paul Pioneer Press

It's a film about a supposedly real-world set-up that never feels true, even though the people who made it clearly set out to treat their subject matter and the audience with respect.
Brian Tallerico-Movie Retriever

It's brilliant; a beautifully balanced comedy-drama that makes you laugh as much as it makes you cry, sometimes in the same scene.
Shannon J. Harvey-Sunday Times (Australia)

A writer-director portrays life with an autistic brother to heartwarming effect.
Jake Wilson-The Age (Australia)

It's a film that comes from the heart.
Sandra Hall-Sydney Morning Herald
