About This Movie

So, you know how some films just grab you with their oddities? 'How I Taught Myself to Be a Child' is one of those. It's this quirky adventure-comedy-drama mashup that has an almost dreamlike quality to it. Paul Silberstein, coming from a bizarre lineage of confectionery tycoons, really pulls you into his world. The pacing is a bit all over, with moments that feel like they stretch the boundaries of reality, which is sort of the point. The blend of humor and heartfelt exploration of love is nice, though sometimes it can feel a bit wobbly. There's something distinctly charming in the practical effects and performances, making it stand out in the indie scene of 2019. A bit strange, a bit enlightening.
