isla s This is quite a delightful, subtle film. It had the look of a sort of observational documentary (obviously without the traditional 'talking heads' or narration aspect). It highlights the childs innocence, watching him trudging about in the snow, seemingly somewhat aimlessly (though that may not be the case) in some quite quiet places. It's frustrating seeing adults pass him by, barely notice him and the scenes with snow around also I suppose highlights his vulnerabilities, how isolated he was. This is a film which lacks much dialogue at all - its a visual film, very much so. I liked it and yes, I would recommend it. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Read all reviews
