i know i wasted 90 mins of my life.

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

Avoid at all cost: and keep your kids away from this, unless you don't mind seeing children smoke, says racist comments, and even become prostitutes ! Yeah, it's all meant to be taken as "social commentary",but still: seeing a 12 year old girl, made up like a far-west hooker, charge "50 cents for a kiss on the cheek, or a dollar for the lips" is a little too much for my taste. For kids, all the second degree satire will go over their head. For adults, boredom and disbelief will make you want to turn off the TV.Even the kiddie drivel served by Robert Rodriguez is better than this. Skip it and you'll be glad !

This is an odd one. All throughout France, Europe and the world this little film has been misunderstood. Kids play like adults in America's 19th century wild west, and they play it with a twist. There's romance, war, racism, corruption, torture and death, which, although mildly depicted in (in most cases) a humorous way, is not quite standard family flick material. Not even in France.But there are more layers. You know, this is also a satire on how idiotic grown-ups are, a satire of Hollywood westerns, and it's even a musical! The director and producers took great risks, and from this point of view, this is certainly interesting cinema. The children play their roles quite sincerely, there's little cheesiness, and the humor is subtle enough for adults to be appreciated. It has been shot in Bulgaria (!?). Go see it if you get the chance, you're in for a surprise.
