Until I Fly

I thoroughly enjoyed the film. The boy seems to suffer periods of bullying, loneliness and isolation but, despite all that, he has moments of great, great happiness and joy with his sisters. There are some delightful scenes - so pure and simple. It seems impossible to be so happy in his circumstances but that is, perhaps, the beauty of childhood and the consequence of the absence of materialistic temptation. His birthday dance and playing with his sister are the highlights for me. The editor will, of course, have chosen certain images but there are moments where he sits alone and you feel he is pondering upon his life. I was worried the world would leave him behind and forget him but we stay long enough to see him emerge from possible disaster thanks to his gorgeous school and wonderful teachers.
