Overrated and overhyped
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Although I seem to have had higher expectations than I thought, the movie is super entertaining.
It's simply great fun, a winsome film and an occasionally over-the-top luxury fantasy that never flags.
Just saw this at Cinequest (San Jose, CA) and found this gem to be a humorous and unusual take on childhood rebellion. The story is quirky, the POV is consistently from the child's perspective, the directing, cinematography and editing were top notch, the soundtrack was excellent and the acting was uniformly good. I was most impressed with the director's skill at teasing out the humor. One only has to look at the mountain of comedy flops to know that it takes a special skill to write and direct comedy. The production values were impressive. This looked like a short with a long budget which was a pleasant surprise considering the less than stellar shorts I had seen in previous festivals.
