As a therapist with 30 plus years under my belt I was shocked and delighted by this movie. It does alot to liberate the narratives of generational trauma, immigration, violence and the magic of survival. Thanks for writing a fantastic piece!!

Yay, this is the content I am here for!

I did really like this film too... one theory I read, I'd like to share with you. So, this theory says that Mirabel does actually have powers, and that they are only activated when she touches the doorknob on the front door towards the end of the film. But her power is not to heal the house, but rather to heal *the family*. I thought that was quite sweet, even if it was a bit woo woo/handwavy.

And yes I am all about Bruno :)
