I came upon this movie by accident while channel surfing late one night and I am pleased that I did. The movie had just started and I was riveted from the very beginning. The performances of the actors, both adults and adolescents, were outstanding.
This movie has a deeply moving script. It is about children, but the movie deals with very adult situations. Although brutally painful to watch at times, the uniquely individual manner in which each character handles tragedy and adversity is fascinating. I felt compelled to reach out and hug those kids and perhaps slap the parents, as they were not paying attention to their children. The storyline was interesting and kept the viewer's interest. The interaction between the young friends added a touch of humor.
I would highly recommend this movie, especially to parents. A pleasant surprise.
