Too good for a simple man like me to ever express.
It has been three years since I saw this movie. Three years since the final credits rolled, and to this day I cannot forget this movie.
It is my life's work to track it down again, just to relive it. A movie so special, that to be able to watch it again, can be compared to your first love. To be able relive that first night together.
There will be good films, there will be excellent films. But there will only ever be one Kid's return. The story, I would only spoil with my words. You simply must see it for yourself. You'll never forgot it, nor regret it.
