- Critics' reviews
-
-
"This is the kind of film that reminds you of what movies, at their best, are capable of."
-
"The title captures this film's harrowing qualities, but not its energy, its limpid beauty or its spiritual grace."
-
"It shows how the energy, and innocence, of children can be found - and fostered - in even the bleakest spots on earth"
-
"This is a work of art so deep and resonant that it puts most narrative films to shame"
