Encanto: a movie that tackles the nuances of generational trauma, shows how easy it is to be caught up in a toxic system (and how toxicity is not always obvious for what it is until it's too late), but also how people can be wrong, and still mean well and genuinely not realize what kind of pain they may or may not have inflicted, etc. A movie that translates the toxic family drama into a palpable, beautiful metaphor of taking accountability and atonement, beginning the healing process and moving forward. It is a film that is designed to spark conversations about the importance of boundaries, mental health, and toxic positivity---
