The Young Kieslowski

I actually enjoyed the struggle of the main actor in his journey through the entire movie. He somehow manages to flow in the situation and how this could affect life and it was enjoyable to watch the whole story.

According to my rating strategy : Story : 1/2 (Good), Task Accomplishment : 1/1, Directing, Cinematography and Soundtrack :1/2 (Good), Viewer : 1.5 (Enjoyable), Cast : 1.5 (Some Exceptional Works), Wow Factor : 0/1

Really enjoyed the film. Super cute mix of emotions...happy, sad, funny, surprising and serious. It had a very similar feel to the film Juno which I thought was also quite good.

The young leads are great. Haley Lu Richardson is a very talented actress, who no doubt has a promising career ahead of her. Malgarini as the geeky guy w/ 'old testament hair' -- awesome line by the way -- is totally lovable, even when he's being spineless.

The two sets of parents bookend the adult reaction...one supportive, one not so much.

The supporting friends add a bit of comedy and quirkiness too...all are a little off-beat in their own various and lovable ways.
