This is one of those bittersweet treasures that come along from time to time. It does not make a universal declaration, it is not an "art" movie, it is just a simple tale, but one that haunts, makes one remember the day when it was kids v. adults and the kids were supposed to win.
Loss and the way we experience it even when finding first love, what isn't to like about such an effort? I watched it with a group of 14-15 year old high school students and they loved it-that should say it all.
Realistic? maybe not, but like a dream it stays true to its own logic and the solutions to problems are, perhaps the result of adult wish fulfillment, but never the less stay true.
