Banana

About This Movie

So, 'Banana' is this quirky little gem that really captures the struggles of adolescence, doesn’t it? Giovanni, the main character, wears his Brazil jersey like armor against a world that feels heavy with disappointment. The comedy kind of sneaks up on you, balancing light-hearted moments with this deeper commentary on dreams and hopelessness. The pacing is laid-back, letting you soak in the atmosphere of youthful longing and the authenticity of his friendships. The performances are pretty genuine, and there's something refreshing about how it doesn't shy away from the awkwardness of being a teenager. It’s got that indie vibe, with practical effects that feel organic and unforced, which gives it a certain charm. Overall, it’s a thoughtful exploration of keeping hope alive in a cynical world.

Shows a different side of adolescence. · Great character study. · Fun, light-hearted yet poignant.
