A well-produced short that leaves you a bit wanting.

There was a lot of care and likely money put into Addie and the Lightning Bugs. The cinematography, the acting and the entire production are all topnotch. Sadly, the narrative voice feels like a copy of a copy of a copy. We've seen this sort of magical children's story a thousand times.

Addie (Cailey Fleming) finds out she is moving to a new city. Faces with leaving behind the memories of her deceased brother, she tries to capture the spirit of his life to bring with her.

Despite being sweetly told, by time we get the conclusion, we can't help but have wanted a more satisfying conclusion. As the one we get just sort of arrives with little dramatical fireworks.
