Turtle Soup is a curious blend of whimsy and raw emotion. It weaves the story of Adelaide, a young girl who’s not just fighting for a turtle’s life, but also her own sense of agency amidst a backdrop of absurdity. The pacing has this almost dreamlike quality, as if you’re drifting through Adelaide’s imaginative world. The practical effects are surprisingly charming, giving life to the titular turtle in a way that feels tactile and real. Performances are heartfelt, especially from the young lead, who captures that age’s blend of innocence and defiance. The themes of compassion and resilience resonate throughout, making it a unique piece that lingers in your mind long after the credits roll.
