Powerful

It is a performances centric movie

This is a tender, generous movie that likes its characters and presents them as real people, full of flaws and strengths.

Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

Two isolated sick children get rid of their life and dream about Alaska (as an excuse for freedom). Being at the hospital for your entire life and having just one person around you who can understand your feelings could be really annoying when you are reaching the age you are big enough to feel lonely and to begin to understand the surrounding world and your true situation.Nice visuals and nice plot, maybe a little slow at times. I just don't get the point about so much children nudity, apart of that I recommend it as a cry for freedom, sometimes life and quality of life seem to be quite opposed.

a wonderful film that will move you to tears and also make you smile often, i felt privileged to have seen this and spent some time trying to find a copy as it is not readily available, came across this site and have downloaded some films, this is my number 2 film after the film Urga for which you need to make use of the subtitles,i watched this and others with my eleven year old daughter, this being the first time she watched some quality instead of the usual dross,she said and i quote "i didn't think they made films like that" she was in tears but also elated bu the experience, there is not much else i can say. watch and enjoy. free to download via torrent at secret-cinema.com.

This is a beautiful treat for visual enjoyment. The very simple idea of two "overhealed" or "overwatched" little souls wanting to rebel and discover and explore and travel and kiss and connect. Simple, but beautifully stripped for us to enjoy seeing something that we already know. It is like life breathing on you from the screen, the dream life.... Don't expect anything especially deep or revealing from it, just "Alaska, Tikera :)".... But you'll remember. Thanks to Bertrand Arthuys for this exceptional work....

The plot of this movie (two ill children escaping the bubble they live in to take on an endeavour in the outside world) is very thin and failed to sustain my interest. Perhaps, the symbolism didn't get to me. Many times, I asked myself where all this was heading. The poetic aura left me emotionally disconnected and questioning the purpose of my viewing. It is however, a very unusual and gutsy film for which the director should be praised. For those easily offended, please take note that the children, portraying the title characters are nude for nearly the entire movie.
