Ricky

About This Movie

Ricky is one of those films that straddles the line between whimsy and the bizarre. It’s a comedy-drama with a touch of fantasy that really plays into the absurdity of life and parenthood. The story centers on Katie and Paco, whose love story leads to the birth of Ricky—a child who embodies both charm and strangeness. The film's tone is playful yet poignant, with moments that swing from humor to something a bit darker. What makes it stand out are the practical effects used to bring Ricky to life; it gives the film this tangible quality that digital effects often lack.
