I'm Not Scared

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

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

Felt too dull for its intriguing premise.

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

I wasn't either, but that's because the plot isn't. Kids movies that aren't for kids either need to teach me how to laugh and love, or make me wonder if kids are going to rise up and kill me. This one did neither.

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

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.

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

"He's just a kid..." I found myself curiously thinking about Michele (Giuseppe Cristiano) as he continued to be faced with graver challenges. The more time that passed, the more I realized that this statement was wrong though. He was not "just" a kid. Niccolo Ammaniti (screenwriter) and Gabriele Salvatores (director) combined to create a 10 year old boy with immense depth. Even when it's subtle, confined to Michele's facial expressions, that same depth - that same care - can be felt.

A lot duller than you'd expect

Very effectively creepy.

It just a little too long and in some parts, anything is happening.

Salvatores' coming-of-age gem is moody, picturesque and pretty damn wonderful.

Well, this is pretty brilliant movie from Salvatores. The crime through the eyes of innocent child. The beginning is creepy: abandoned house and adventures mind of a child. Film keeps viewers at the edge of seats throughout it's 97 minutes.

Gorgeous cinematography and beautiful soundtrack.

Intense movie and an original plot line. Very refreshing.

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

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

Overrated..

Io non ho paura

What comes to mind right now is my thought that perhaps this is the movie Guillermo Del Toro was going for with Pan's Labyrinth, a story of a young child with a penchant for games and fantasy who is ennobled by how they interact with the dark, twisted, dangerous adult world that functions as a backdrop. But Gabriele Salvatores' film unfolds that adult world from the naïve point of view of the child rather than striving for equally balanced screen time for both perspective realms.

The book was way better
