Review of Only

Only (2008)
Lovely

Lovely film, great to see life as a lonely kid in rural Ontario portrayed so accurately and beautifully. It reminded me of what it was like to be a kid trapped in the place where your parents put you, desperately searching for things that capture your interest, and finding only buzzing power lines, railway tracks and abandoned tennis courts.

The dialogue was simple and natural, as were the performances. The relationship between the two leads builds slowly and naturally. The audience at the screening I was at was made up of both adults and, and both groups seemed to enjoy it equally, which is not an easy thing to pull off. Hope to see more from everyone involved.
