Title: Sweet, beautifully shot, if familiar coming of age story
Product review: Sweet coming of age story set in rural Kyrgyzstan. An adopted boy struggles to fit in,and find his place in his society. Shot mostly in starkly beautiful black and white, with theoccasional specific color image added in as a sort of poetic highlighting. A greatlooking film. The beautiful images, and fascinating insights into a very differentculture balance the fact that we've seen this basic story many times, and thestorytelling itself can feel quite slow.
