Looner

About This Movie

So, 'Looner' is this fascinating little documentary from 2007 that dives into the world of balloon fetishists. It's not your typical mainstream fare, that's for sure. The tone is pretty intimate, almost voyeuristic at times, which gives it a unique atmosphere. You get to hear personal stories that really shed light on why some people are drawn to this specific fetish. The pacing is deliberate; it takes its time, allowing you to really absorb the emotions and complexities involved. There's an authenticity here that’s hard to replicate. The practical effects are minimal—mostly focusing on the balloons themselves, of course—but that’s part of the charm. Overall, it’s a distinctive look into a subculture that's often overlooked.
