Short Review

Turning Red menceritakan tentang Mei Lee, remaja berumur 13 tahun yang selalu menuruti apa kata sang ibu, lalu di suatu pagi tiba-tiba tubuhnya berubah menjadi red panda setiap sisi emosionalnya keluar.

Suka banget sama metafora yang dibawa sama film ini. Red panda sendiri bisa diinterpretasikan sebagai kiasan dari "dark side" yang pasti ada dalam diri manusia.
