This is a haunting and ultimately powerful film but its punch comes only at the end. In outline the story is fairly conventional and it chugs along at an easy pace. All the expected features are there: boy in happy childhood suddenly cast into desperate circumstances, missing parents, kindly adults,cruel adults, the physical punishments, the hazing then the bonding to the brotherhood,the sexual awakening-they are all there. But two themes emerge which are to lead to the darkest of conclusions: religion in the form of a boy that prays almost incessantly, and Aron's (the central figure) introduction to science by a kindly teacher. Aron rejects religion as solace and takes the meteorite the teacher gives him as a kind of talisman and secretly pours over a map of the stars he is also given. Having failed a cruel task, Aron and several other boys who are out of favor with the headmaster, are forced to give up their leave. Aron decides to lead the boys in an escape which results in tragedy. Arons abandonment of all hope in the final scenes are as dark and as poignant as one will see.
The performances are excellent all around,and the fine score is supportive of the story as is the bleakness of the location,
