Sweet Thing

Visually beautiful, thought provoking and ultimately priceless! Performances were so raw. Nico is so charming!!

Another top shelf picture by Alexandre Rockwell, the director of In The Soup and Little Feet. As with the latter, Rockwell is able to capture a world from a child's perspective that is both entertaining and original.

What a sweet yet melancholic movie, some shots are a bit weirdly cut, but the overall great. The soundtrack are in sync with the storyline and the acting is really good.

I loved the closed shots in this piece.

Like his previous film with the same two actors "Little Feet," Sweet Thing is a complex and involving ode to transcending a childhood's worth of anguish.

In these uncertain times, Sweet Thing is a bittersweet ode to childhood, and the difficult learning of growing up. In its vagabond and surrealist poetry, Sweet Thing reminded me of Forbidden Games, of that secret language children have and that we, adults, have forgotten. Alex has not forgotten it, and it is a wonder to watch.
