The Incredibles

(Brad Bird/2004/USA)

I saw this in the cinema when it was first released and remember not being overly taken with it. As a result I’ve never re-watched it until this week when my kids asked to see it having caught a snippet somewhere on TV. 14 years later I understand the fuss about it. It’s a great take on superheroes and identity but more so there’s a lesson about personal strengths (super powers) and the importance of family. Working as a team, the family becomes a stronger unit capable of taking on any situation. Maybe it took my situation changing to having a family of my own to get it!

(3.5/5)
