... View MoreIf the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.
... View Morewhat a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
... View MoreFrom the point of view of the spectator, you become part of the scene forgetting there is a camera. It's incredible to see how all the characters in the film feel comfortable with the camera and are able to show themselves naturally. The spontaneity is unique and emotive. The children transmit strong messages of their reality that come through with humor and dignity. Despite their precarious life, they are able to smile, laugh, and believe in love and in the hope that dreams come true. We all dream and wish for a better world; this film shows a reality in Nicaragua, but this reality is in many parts of our world. It shows negative aspect of the human nature that many struggle to get away or accept it in resignation. Everyone should watch this movie and become aware and more sensitive to such realities.
