Glitch Baby

About This Movie

Glitch Baby is a curious blend of drama and sci-fi, set in the early 90s. The film tackles the complexities of identity with a unique twist, as it intertwines the everyday struggles of a young tomboy with some unexpected quantum elements. The pacing feels deliberate, allowing the characters’ emotional arcs to unfold naturally, which really resonates. The performances are raw and honest, particularly the lead, who captures the confusion and vulnerability of youth beautifully. I found the practical effects to be a nice touch, adding an ethereal quality that complements the film's themes of self-discovery and belonging. There's a certain nostalgic atmosphere that envelops you, though it never fully leans into sentimentality.
