Promising, but undevelopped

"Starboy", or "O menino das estrelas", has an interesting plot. It is a kind of Southern Brazilian "Carrie", but with mentions to the X-Men and to professor Charles Xavier (both in the name of the school and in the toy), but unfortunately it seem unfinished. There is a clear and serious situation of bullying, the mother is not attentive, the teacher starts to notice that the problem exists, the boy acquire energy powers caused by a comet but does not know how to control it, and... well, then the movie ends! Deffinitelly a further development would have been desirable, 23 minutes was not enough.
