A strange little film that blurs the line between thriller and family drama by having everything viewed through the eyes of a ten year old boy. The film is visually impressive and, while the plot seems to stall at times, is generally pretty good.

A lot duller than you'd expect

Intense movie and an original plot line. Very refreshing.

I couldn't take my eyes away from this film. I never felt so geniunely concerned for all of the characters.

An original film with beautiful cinematography and compelling story, told through the eyes of a 10 year old boy. Very moving.

Very well executed story of a young 10 year old boy who grow up to realize how deceiving the world of adults is. The leading child leads could be better choosen, but the use of nature is interesting. Despite animals are also an important part of the story, they could be used less underlining.

Shows that there is gold even in the most corrupt of places.

Very effectively creepy.

Eerie at first, but as the plot is revealed, unfortunately the tension wanes and becomes ever so slightly more preposterous.

Gorgeous visuals. Beautiful music. Captures the world of children, through their eyes - truthfully and beautifully. Pleasure to watch.

Interesting, intelligent use of perspective; seeing this movie through a child's eyes enhances the sense of hopelessness and threat

The book was way better

They botched the ending. It should have been over after the screen first turned black. Apart from that excellent pacing and mood.

Gorgeous cinematography and beautiful soundtrack.
