      Audience Member The movie seems very realistic but is it? I liked this a lot, characters are quite cool, they do not show a lot of emotions and the feeling in the movie is very sad from the beginning. The movie gives a lot to think about especially to people who are thinking about adopting a child. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/19/23 Full Review Audience Member muy buena pelicula, el final semi-inconcluso concentra la atención en la historia en sí, la actriz que interpreta a Joelle hace un papel fantastico, los paisajes y ciertos dialogos me recuerdan mucho a paraguay asi que me encanto esta pelicula.

Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member it's slow.. but somehow gripping.. one could be disappointed in the end, but for sure it's better than average hollywood production.
