User Review
Simple, but genius
Rating: 10/10
This is one of those films that you really enjoy watching and when you
see those running letters at the end you just want to lay back and clap
your hands. Even when you're alone at home, seriously. Genius lies in
simplicity, because on one hand, you can say, that you've seen so many
films with partly similar scenario, but on the other this one looks
totally different. It has something that keeps you interested. For
example the old good school look. I mean, every time when I hear that
the movie is based on school life it seems to be kind of lame. Not with
this piece of art. First of all, script is good. Very good. As I said,
it is simple, but on the same time very catchy. The movie is slow, but
everything that happens means something, so it isn't boring at all.
Secondly, both leading roles are perfectly acted. Finally, the views
are very pretty.It is surprising how the suburb can be so beautiful and
warm and that you really would like to be somewhere in the film.
Anyway, picture is a must see I think.
