Movie Pick: The Black Balloon
Maggie (Toni Collette), Jackie (Gemma Ward), and Simon (Erik Thomson) attend a school performance by two brothers, one with autism
A female sensibility in film? Yes. "The Black Balloon," directed by Elissa Down, is not so much a film about a family with an autistic boy, as it is the day-by-day/ minute-by-minute negotiation of household chaos, with Toni Collette as a mother in the eye of the storm.
