Only Child

About This Movie

Only Child is this intriguing little piece that thrives on its experimental nature. Directed by Christian Gossett, it delves into the psyche of a Chinese toy painter caught in a whirlwind of creativity. The film’s pacing is almost meditative, allowing you to feel the weight of her internal struggles as she grapples with her art. The visuals are striking, with practical effects that draw you into her world. You can sense the tension and release in her strokes, which is intensified by the film's brief runtime. It’s not about grand narratives but rather invokes a visceral connection to the act of creation itself, making it quite distinctive. Definitely a reflection of the artist's mind, captured in those fleeting moments.
