Another one of those magical experiences watching a film, where all the elements come together in a way where a "small" film can say so much, and move the viewer in such beautiful and meaningful ways, while offering an entertaining time, as well. The performances from young and adult actors, soundtrack, sets and scenery, dialog, story and plot, etc., all were pitch perfect. Examining what for many are those very difficult middle school/junior high school years, the film shows the painful challenges of that time, yet also shows the possibilities in negotiating those challenges, when there are concerned friends, family members and teachers available (as long as that concern is informed by accurate knowledge, skills and abilities)and kids find the encouragement to live an authentic life. Moving along both sides of the line between what is and what could be, in an environment that is at times all too real and at times seemingly an invented world (as in films like "Big Eden," and "Local Hero") "Night Fliers" is a real treat.
