iFriend: Imaginary Friends Face a Real-World Problem
By: Alex Silverman
Farid Tahmasebi presents iFriend, a story of two imaginary friends who face a problem only imaginary friends can have: being forgotten. The story’s concept is very unique and stands out with quirky main characters and bright colors.
Alfred, the imaginary friend of a 9-year-old boy, faces the dilemma of being forgotten. If he becomes forgotten, he will lose his abilities and become a real person. After he meets another imaginary friend who faces the same problem, together they go to the only place where imaginary friends like them can get the help they need. It’s a fun, innocent, and simple adventure that deserves attention. I give this film 4 out of 5 stars.
