Dragonfly (2016)
Told with heart, humor and a little bit of magic, Dragonfly is a female-led feature film about homecoming and healing for a Midwestern family divided by divorce and illness. Struggling artist Anna Larsen's mother has never understood her. When her mom is diagnosed with early onset Alzheimer's, Anna returned home to help but brings years of family baggage with her. As she unpacks her past, Anna rediscovers a mysterious mailbox from her childhood and embarks on a search to solve its mystery. What she learns along the way may just be the key to rekindling her own magic.

    Such a beautiful film
    Dragonfly is such a beautiful film with a wonderful soundtrack and a very real story. The movie made me reflect on my own relationship with my parents. It made me laugh, it made me cry, what more could one ask for from a film.

    The use of Minneapolis as the backdrop was a bonus as well, almost as if the city I know and love was another character in the movie.

    The artistic creativity throughout the movie (I don't want to give anything away) was something I had never seen before and gave it a really unique twist.

    I really can't say enough good things...see it, and fall in love with Dragonfly like I did.
