Marvelous and the Black Hole (2021)

Troubled teenager Miya Cech is forced by her widowed father to either attend a summer college class or get shipped away to a behavioral modification camp. An unexpected meeting with magician Rhea Perlman waylays her first day of class, but leads her to unexpected discoveries. It’s obviously a bit low budget of a film, but it’s refreshing to watch the intergenerational relationship between Cech and Perlman unfold. The ending felt a bit forced and underdeveloped, but I love the message of hope for struggling people that they can find a place and community where they feel they belong.
