I was going to give this film a lower rate, only it did pick up after about an hour. It's quite depressing for the first hour. Filmed in black and white, a warts all depiction of youngish kids living in a dysfunctional, neglectful domestic setting. I'd wrongly assumed the kids would somehow run away earlier in the film than they do (apologies for a potential spoiler there). It became somewhat poignant and even hopeful towards the end. It has the feel of 'The Florida Project' I suppose.

Portrays the beautiful and ugly side of growing up in a broken home both in an aesthetically unique and emotionally engaging way. Filled to brim with truth, poetry and beauty that I can forgive the somewhat soapy climax. The kids share some wonderful chemistry, and Will Patton continuous his streak of playing some really interesting characters. One of my favourite films in recent years.
