An intriguing and sometimes harrowing look at a kid's perspective of a wartime childhood. Liked the creative camerawork throughout, performances were good and the opening and closing scenes hit pretty hard. The way the movie is filmed from a lower, upward angle when focusing on Buddy's perspective is creatively done. However, the movie suffers from the plot structure being absent, instead it's just kind of a collection of happenings.

But I did like the use of color to convey movies and theater as the only escapism for Buddy in a war-torn neighborhood.

And to think this same man directed Artemis Fowl *shudders*
