It didn't feel like a movie; more like it was about someone that I know. Or that I was present in their life. Because this a story that plays out in a lot of South East Asian, and South Asian places. And also because the camera would look in through windows, and other personal spaces. And as the lead's world strated closing in on him, the screen size closed in for us too. As if we were seeing everything through an insistently personal view. Because he was - his survival depended on it.
It's an excellent movie, not only technically, but also in it's performances. Especially the lead. You just felt so much for him.
And I was happy for him, when the screen finally enlarged again, after he took back control of his life. As best as a beleaguered 15 year old could.
