    Moving Film by Young Director
    Aesthetically gorgeous film that captures the attention of the audience in this moving true story. The characters who propel the protagonist forward feel authentic. The acting of the protagonist belied his age, and well-captured the breadth of emotions expected in a story with this gravitas. Worth seeing, bittersweet movie.
