A reminder to look beyond the surface
I immediately was attached to the characters, especially the amazing children, as this film provided an intimate glimpse into their life and perspective.
And then with a one-two punch, this film laid me flat. In a culmination that perfectly melds the earlier intimacy with a devastating realization, this film goes from touching to something I won't ever forget.
Then, at the last second, it reminded me that even in the darkest moments, there is still hope to be gleaned. Incredible writing, directing, and acting meshed into a film I will be thinking about even years from now.
In addition, I have rarely seen such true performances that represented childhood so well. The kids were amazing representation of how the children I know act in real life with all of the frustration and purity they bring to life.
