Eleven Days

Eleven days filmed very realistically. everything seems very real to me. Childs mentality, hot blood of youth, and calmness of fatherhood. beautiful written story and very well directed. good shot selection of nature. must watch

"Eleven Days" casts some intelligent light on the issue of prejudice from several different angles, and wraps it all in a compelling and heartfelt story of a 12 year old's arduous journey to find his brother. Jaginder Singh does a terrific job with the Australian landscape, his actors and his incidents, weaving in all the human moments beautifully. This film is well worth the time. Watch it. It will stay with you.

There were many aspects of being an immigrant and the conflict between first generation immigrants and their children, that were touched in this impressive debut by director Jaginder Singh. The beautiful landscape shots and the intricate storyline were impressive. There were specks of humour throughout the movie especially when it came to the bush pilot :). Overall a very good watch.

Eleven Days is one of the better coming of age films I've seen in a while. Normally these films aren't primarily meant for adults, so I don't always chose to watch them, but Eleven Days brought more to the genre. The film dealt with some really interesting issues and showcased people, cultures, and locations that deserve more time on screen. A Sikh family having to deal with the impact of racism is what gets this film going, giving it real-world relevance and import. Much of the film then follows a young boy urgently searching for his brother across the Australian outback, and it's not often that a young actor is up to the task like Jit Singh is here. Lastly, I just want to note that the cinematography and beautiful Australian landscapes were quite gorgeous. Eleven Days is definitely worth a watch if you're looking for a quality family film.

A touching story about a boy's 11 day journey across western Australia to find his brother so they can offer a prayer over their father's ashes. The film is an exploration of faith, family devotion, violence, racism and self-discovery, largely through the boy's perspective. The film is shot well and the acting is mostly solid, but it is the boy's endearing character that keeps us engaged. His journey is adventurous and compelling. The story challenges it's central character while simultaneously challenging us, and is a celebration of the human spirit.
