| User ReviewTony HAn absurdly moving film which fuses witness-style camera work and cutaways of recorded therapy sessions, against an impoverished backdrop. The melancholic and angsty soundtrack aids a circling storm which culminates in an ending which was never going to be happy, but still manages to pull all the intended emotions out of you. Unfortunately an extremely rare sighting, particularly outside its native Canada, it has never had a commercial release which means many will sadly miss out on this stunningly compiled independent - dare i say it - masterpiece. |
| User ReviewKayla HAwesome movie that portrays an aspect of childhood many of us may not be familiar with or may not even be able to understand for that matter. I think this movie is an eye-opener because yes, fucked shit like this does happen in the world around us. |
| User ReviewSarah BOk so how on earth can this film be practically unheard of???? |
| User ReviewMartin DGreat hidden gem. The song at the credits is Creep by Radiohead and it's a PERFECT ending to the movie. |
| User ReviewJames DNot many people have had the chance to see this film, and not many will because of its unavailability. It's a shame, this movie is eye opening and great. |
