Quiet explication of youthful idealism, 24 July 2008
9/10
Author: Laius from United States

This film has a sharp focus, that of the inherent idealism and optimism of youth: optimism, to believe that earning ones daily bread will somehow take care of itself; idealism in that fulfillment of ones expressive instincts is paramount. Yes, there are nagging questions of how can one live on corn and apples; where does one shower and relieve oneself. What matters is the delineation of two loners, their brief attempt at intimacy, and the rapid retreat from that into the emotional refuge of their "tagging" or graffiti. If the scenes of a boy spray painting a wall seem overlong, Kid Loco's insistent, subterranean score, rising to a crescendo only at the dénouement and at the recapitulation offers worthy reward for the patience. A fine gem of a film with an ingratiating performance by Ruben Bansie-Snellman in the lead role. .
