Bob L @RT67797082 Jul 12 I wholeheartedly agree with RoseT. Totally ridiculous story. He was a breatharian for four years. No one cared to look for him. She didn't recognize the voice of the old man that knocked her up, so the scriptwriter had to cover his ass by saying that all men sounded alike to her?!?! I also do not understand what anybody sees in this movie. See more Rose T @RT28631960 Jun 19 I genuinely do not understand why this film is so highly praised. My issue isn’t that it’s slow, and it certainly isn’t the cinematography. The visuals are beautiful. My problem is the story itself. The film takes a child who has finally found stability, routine, and people who care for him, then has his father abruptly remove him from that life. He is taken across the country to reconnect with a mother who abandoned him years earlier, and then the father simply disappears. We’re supposed to view this as emotional or profound, but I found it irresponsible and frustrating. They have already done enough. The entire time I kept asking: why is this being treated as a noble act? Why is nobody questioning the impact on the child? These are huge life-changing decisions being made for him by adults who have already failed him. The narrative left me more confused than touched. Apologies, but I do not get carried away easily.
