The Painting - Maya Lauer's Review
Reviewer Maya Lauer is 10 years old and a student at Edison Language Academy.
For readers who may have forgotten, this wonderful film will be a gentle reminder to appreciate the way you are and things you have.
That’s the overlying message that The Painter delivers.
This animated film was great. The general idea is that the whole movie is a picture – all part of a painting – which helped symbolize the meaning or lesson that there is more to a painting than just the picture we see.
Helping to guide my appreciation was the style of animation. It was unlike any I have ever seen before. The style was much more artistic than in a cartoon style.
My favorite character was Lola, because, unlike the other characters in the movie, Lola appreciated the way she was. She wanted to stay a “halfie” (not a “whole person”) because she felt like that’s how she was born and how she was meant to be.
I definitely recommend the movie – great for kids and helps them understand what art is really about in a deeper way.
The Painting plays May 5, 2013, at 11am at The Aero Theatre. Buy tickets in advance through this link to make a donation to the school of your choice.
