If you experienced adolescent conflict with your parents – or are on the other side of the coin – you know what it's like to both love and hate the same person with guilty intensity. The messy relationship between MeiMei and Ming is the movie's great strength, bringing it bone-deep authenticity.
Turning Red can serve as a useful catalyst for discussions with tweens about the challenges they face with puberty, friendships, setting goals, and managing volatile emotions.
Best of all, Turning Red is a reassuring story for young viewers who feel like they don't fit in. MeiMei's struggle to accept herself and to claim her place in her family and peer group will resonate with viewers of any age. That these valuable messages are delivered with such warmth, empathy, and humor, is a bonus for family audiences.
