Tentboy

About This Movie

So, 'Tentboy' is this family flick that captures the innocence of childhood with a touch of whimsy. Directed by Ryan Owen Eddleston, it's interesting to see how the narrative spins around Griff and the tent his grandfather sets up in their backyard. There's this delicate balance between parental concern and the freedom of imagination. The pacing feels a bit leisurely, kind of like a lazy summer day, but it works for the themes they explore—family bonds, the clash of generations, and the importance of play. The practical effects, though minimal, add a nice tactile quality that enhances the storytelling. Performances aren’t over-the-top, but they feel genuine, especially the interactions between Griff and his grandfather. It gives off a nice, nostalgic vibe, making you reflect on your own childhood adventures.
