Audience Member The imagery is very haunting. A real gem I have re-watched many times. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member I was really moved by this movie. It breaks your heart from the very beginning of the movie, till the end. You see just how bad they live- as orphans having only each other.. at the end being left without that as well. Shows some things you haven't known before.. and it was really sad when I saw them learning to steal from a movie so they could be in prison-having a roof over their heads. So, I sometimes wonder whats wrong with us?! How do we let these things happen. And the fact that it is not an American movie.. is amazing. The kids have done an amazing job with their roles. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member watching Hollywood movies. Alternatively, European cinema can teach them how to be caught. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member great movie..... amazing performance from the seven yr old girl... Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/24/23 Full Review Audience Member This is better than a lot of amateur actor stuff to emerge from central Asia recently. It doesn't go the direction I thought it would, either, which is nice. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/19/23 Full Review Audience Member Really remarkable story...with very strong impression! Worth seeing!
