Crappy film
Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.
Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.
It only took a few minutes of watching this movie and I became totally absorbed in a world that I do not know. A tougher, harder world. But somehow I connected with the characters in this world- with their needs, dreams and everyday problems. They clash with unimaginable force; but despite all hardship and violence, hope survives. A relentlessly and yet extremely lovingly told film. Wonderfull authentic acting. I will surely watch this movie a second time.
