Joan The Kid

About This Movie

So, 'Joan The Kid' is this quirky little film that mixes comedy and drama in a way that feels fresh. The premise is pretty intriguing—Jo gets tossed into detention for ditching the skirt, and then her project on Joan of Arc just... comes to life. The tone has this blend of teenage angst and historical whimsy, which is kind of charming. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it suits the chaotic energy of a school setting. The performances are solid too, especially Jo's, who balances humor with genuine moments of self-discovery. It’s kind of a mash-up of modern struggles with a historical twist, and that practical effects element when Joan of Arc appears adds a fun layer. Definitely stands out in the coming-of-age genre.
