Flight of the Red Balloon Movie Synopsis

A mysterious red balloon affectionately follows seven-year-old Simon (Simon Iteanu) around Paris. His mother Suzanne (Juliette Binoche) is a puppeteer who uses her vocal talents to bring life to the shows she writes. Completely absorbed in her new show, Suzanne becomes overwhelmed by the complications of modern daily life. She decides to hire Song Fang, a Taiwanese film student, to help her care for Simon.

THIS IS ONE OF THE WORSE MOVIES I HAVE EVER SEEN. I AM A VERY TOLERANT AND PATIENT PERSON BUT THERE WAS NO PLOT LINE. IT WAS VERY SLOW - I HAVE NEVER WRITTEN A MOVIE REVIEW BEFORE, BUT THIS MOVIE IS SO BAD...I FELT COMPELLED TO WRITE. I AM FRENCH AND I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THE WONDERFUL JULIETTE BINOCHE AGREED TO BE IN THIS MOVIE.

The child was boring.
