BIG ADVENTURES · BIG FEELINGS
Blueback.
A childhood friendship beneath the waves leaves a lifelong mark.
Marine biologist Abby returns to the Western Australian coast after her mother suffers a stroke. Being home brings back memories of diving as a child, meeting a large blue groper, and learning why her mother fought to protect their bay. The story follows Abby at different ages as love for that place becomes both a bond with her mother and a responsibility of her own.
Why it’s a little special
An ocean story that links environmental care with a complicated mother-daughter relationship, supported by underwater photography and a strong sense of place.
BEFORE YOU PRESS PLAY
Know the story.
Know your little people.
The official US PG rating cites some thematic elements, peril and brief mild language. Diving danger, poaching and threatened wildlife may distress sensitive viewers. A parent’s stroke, aging and family grief are substantial parts of the story, which moves between childhood memories and adulthood.
Our notes are a starting point, not an age recommendation. G and PG films can still include intense moments. You know your family best.
