"Delicate, playful and slightly mystical."

—

Hollywood Reporter

"Both a gorgeously intimate family drama and an idiosyncratic artistic statement flecked with humour and sorrow, but alive always to the co-existence of the banal with the spiritual."

—

Variety

"Balloon is a family drama in a realist mode.... But it also has a pensive philosophical dimension and a style that is open to moments of reverie verging on magic realism."
