This film tells the story of a young woman who discovers that her brother is back on heroin.As she drives around for a detox centre, it is clear that she really wants him to stay abstinent from heroin. However, the film takes a turn and then I just got confused. Is she becoming complicit of the crimes? Later, she changes her mind again. I got really confused.In addition, the audio book and underwater scenes that keep on being played are really annoying. It brings the whole mood down, and truncates the continuity of the story. I must have missed some important imagery and messages. I was not sure what the message of the film is.

I didn't really have too high of expectations going into this for some reason, but it turned out to be a lot better than I had predicted and a lot better than it had any right to be. Abbi Jacobson and Dave Franco are both quite good here, and in addition to the well written screenplay, the film also has some really unique, effective stylistic flourishes that make it rise above what the film could have initially been.

I want to know why Marja-Lewis Ryan insisted to merge a philosophical message with the storytelling. This decision could easily ruin the entire film because it is done terribly! That harmed the tone, the pacing, That made the movie has scenes that are so long for its own good. Also, the movie didn't need to be more than one hour long or even less than one hour long.Fortunately, there are many great thing that made 6 Balloons so special for me; but it's being very realistic is what made this movie really good. The movie is an emotional journey that is very effective. It's a moving story that will tug at your heartstrings. The dialogue is what made the movie very realistic, but the direction is what made the movie a brutal journey that captures the emotional horror involved. Dave Franco was great as the addicted bother, Seth. He really made me very nervous!
Abbi Jacobson ,who played Katie, Seth's sister, did an awesome job; her reactions and her dramatic moments are reasonable.

Lost patience to go further after 25 minutes. Kinda bored to watch this slow, going nowhere, daily happenings in America's every neighborhood. But one thing I've found out during watching, Abbi Jacobson is a very good actor with natural, unpretentious performance. She's not as pretty as some of the female actors we used to see, but somehow I've found her very attractive to look at with a quiet charm. A very talented actor I must say. The screenplay is a bit of bland, mixed 4th of July with her boyfriend's birthday to throw a party. There's no big deal to tell, just her lousy brother's heroin addiction roused a turmoil in her daily life and the family.
