My Angel

About This Movie

So, 'My Angel' is a bit of a mixed bag, really. It centers on Eddie, your typical teenager, grappling with the weight of responsibility after a tragic accident leaves his mom in bad shape. The film dives into some heavy themes—loss, hope, and sibling dynamics—while still trying to keep a lighthearted tone, which is tricky. The dream sequences are where it gets interesting, as Eddie looks for this halo to save his mom, and it adds a layer of whimsy. The pacing can feel uneven at times, maybe a bit sluggish in the middle, but there’s something heartfelt about the performances, especially from the kids. It’s not flashy, but the practical effects used in the dream sequences stand out and give it a distinctive charm. You can tell there was a real effort to balance the drama with comedic moments, which sometimes lands, sometimes doesn’t.
