Nah...
30 December 2017 | by ospin24 – See all my reviews

The movie is well made and all that, but it's really overrated. If you found this on the internet you'd probably think it's mild baby porn. The only thing you'll see is kids kissing other kids, masturbating and fondling... I just don't like it, nothing to do with the directors or writers, I just don't see the beauty of childhood like this. Of course in every childhood there are difficulties and no one is the same but the sexual awakening is kind of disturbing... Just my opinion.
