Dewey

About This Movie

Dewey is an interesting blend of fantasy and the everyday struggles of childhood, particularly with attention issues. The boy’s journey through his math homework is infused with whimsical elements that give it a unique flavor. The pacing is quite gentle, allowing moments of reflection, which I found engaging. The practical effects, though modest, create a charming atmosphere that enhances the narrative without overshadowing it. The performances are heartfelt, especially from the young lead, who captures the frustrations and small victories of kids facing similar challenges. It’s not flashy, but there’s a certain authenticity to it that resonates. Definitely a film that can spark conversations about childhood and learning.
