Avis à la une
This Thai comedic drama deserves American distribution, at least on the independent film circuit. The young cast, and team of directors and producers who all worked on this film, deserve applause for making such a tender and nostalgic look at youth and growing up.
In exploring these universal themes, which have been portrayed by many other movies in the past, this film makes a mature and inquisitive portrait into a child's point of view of growing up within a particular rural family community and interacting with the adults, parents, and childhood peers of that surrounding neighborhood group. Upon viewing the film, many audience members will probably fondly remember how growing up, as portrayed in the film, was so tentative, yet joyful and at other times sad and disappointing. This is the gritty reality of life that rings so true for all of us, who have grown up, and is so boldly explored in this courageous film.
The fact that the subject matter and themes dealt with by the film are notoriously taboo in Thai society makes this film even more of a cinematic celebration, particularly by members of the Thai community. And don't be surprised if the film forces you to cry at a couple of points in the film, as it makes its emotional impact in subtle and realistic ways.
To be commended for their acting portrayals are the young boy and young girl leads, who play Jeab and Noi-Naa respectively, as well as the standout performance by the enterprising bully, who I believe was called Jack in the film. The rest of the cast also give quite credible performances of their characters. Overall grade: A-.

What a movie! This was the first Thai movie I ever watched and it played on some random foreign movie channel that we had during the mid to late 2000s. I've watched amazing movies from that channel and this one ranks up there.
I was blown away by how good this movie was. It reminds me of my childhood even though I never lived in Thailand and even though my cultural background is completely different, I could identify with both the main characters and their friends. It's such a nostalgic trip. I would recommend any one who is planning to watch this movie to definitely give it a try.

Hi, this is my 3rd Thai movie after Tony jaa's movies. I am from India and just happened to watch this movie which was translated in English. I just loved the movie .It just took me back to my childhood memories. Going with friends on cycles. Fighting with friends and getting back together again. Going back home after a long time away and observing that things are different. Thats how real life is. And more ever i like the emotional part of the relationship between jean and noi. Its so original. Good job done, Ill need a few days to get over it like jeab needed a few days to get out of his down in life after noi moved away. I would rate it as one of the best i have seen...
I didn't see many Thai movies even though I'm Thai. I picked up this movie from shelf 3 weeks ago because I just wanted to hear some old musics I like.
However, 110 minutes of the movie was the time I was traveling back to the past. Canal, fresh market, classroom, and schoolmates activities are surrounding me again. I laughed, I cried and sometime I sat back silently and think about myself as a boy, doing the same thing as in the movie. That was a happy moment of mine.
Its production is very simple. Easy camera movement, easy dialog and plain plot but very impressive.
If you are not Thai, try this and you might like it.

Sometimes, memories is the best thing .Because we can imagine it and we can live in memories.
Nice Feel Good movie with a familiar childhood memories. Sometimes it's funny. The little actors did their job nicely.

- AnecdotesAll of the 6 directors made a "bargain" with the much revered spirit house at Chulalongkorn University in Bangkok to run laps around the entire campus for each 1 million Baht the film would make at the box office . It went on to gross up to 100 million and the directors stayed true to their oaths. They ran the laps, a few at a time though, as the campus is over 100 acres.
