A different way of telling a story
Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
Personally, I found it to be a very very depressing film. Don't get me wrong, it's a well made film and a well told story but I kinda feel like I wanna gnaw through my wrists right now.My thoughts: I would rather watch something a bit more uplifting and escapist than another film which celebrates the worst that humanity (or our lack thereof) is capable of (eg: war, death, intolerance, racism, sexism and bullying).Watch the film for sure but if you're sad or depressed or feeling down or vulnerable - give it a miss until you get into a better emotional state.My experience. My opinion.
I rarely write reviews. This movie Little Boy is a real gem. I don't get why we haven't heard so much about it. The scenario is just perfectly written. The cinematography is really beautifully executed and the actors are all great. I was really moved, and actually normally it's is not at all what I'm searching in a movie (I'm much more into the horror/thriller/action genre). So actually I started looking, sure that I will hate it. It was the opposite. But what I loved the most in this film is the honesty of the film. You feel that it is an honest movie. You have so many movies that sometimes that are just pretending. Here it is true emotions. Really awesome film! I will remember it.
I can't say I've ever 'reviewed' anything before, but felt the need to express my thoughts on this one. "Little Boy" managed to engage me on a deep level, and to challenge my own anger / sorrow having lost my Dad ultimately to the effects of a long campaign in Vietnam, combined with my own experiences in a war-zone in Afghanistan. There are very few books/ movies in which you find yourself identifying with a more sinister character in the plot (in my case, London - the angry and vexed teenager, struggling to choose a battleground to express or extinguish his bitterness). I had not expected to mirror myself on such a character, testament to the solid acting of each performer. Contrasting with viewing a war through the eyes of an innocent and hopeful child made for a very pleasant and moving experience. Very well made movie, with a stellar casting. Many thanks to those involved in its production.
This isn't a perfect movie - but it's a very, very good one. I hardly ever write reviews, but after seeing the really terrible critic reviews this movie has received, I thought I owed it to any potential watchers to let you know that I believe the Metascore is very misleading.This movie really has no fatal flaws - the story is well-built, the acting is very good (much better than I expected), and the filming is beautiful. The tone of it really gives the right feeling of the time that the movie is set. The involvement of religious themes is only objective, and is viewed from different perspectives.The only thing I'm missing is a bit more development in a few of the supporting characters, but that didn't really take much away from the overall impression i was left with. Pretty much everything else works really well in my opinion.So if you're considering watching it, please do! It's a beautiful movie that is guaranteed to make you smile (:
