I Believe in Unicorns (2014)

An artistic look at love as a young teen

[9/10 · 19 July 2015]

I Believe in Unicorns was visually stunning! Leah Meyerhoff is certainly an artist to watch, she didn't shy away from the raw sexuality that we all experience as teenage girls and how we would all bend over backwards for the guy we think is "perfect". Natalia Dyer and Peter Vack beautifully capture teen relationships at their messiest and you are draw into their world even more by the stop motion animation story that parallels their performance. I was particularly moved by her writing her mother into the script. Disabled people are wildly underrepresented in the film industry despite the fact that it effects so many peoples lives including my own. Was very moved and throughly enjoyed this film.
