Birthdays and Other Traumas is this quirky little film that captures that awkward blend of childhood imagination and family dynamics. You've got Oscar Pitt, this bewildered 12-year-old who’s grappling with the surreal idea of his mother’s pinata taking on the persona of her evil twin. The atmosphere is a mix of whimsy and discomfort, as Oscar navigates the absurdity of his flatulent dad being ridiculed by this animated pinata. The pacing feels a bit erratic at times, reflecting Oscar's own chaotic thoughts. And honestly, the practical effects on the pinata are unexpectedly charming, giving it a life of its own. It’s distinct in how it plays with childhood fears and family loyalty in a way that feels refreshingly offbeat.
