Uma Aventura Entre Irmãos

The movie skips a lot..one minute Angie is hiding with.the donkeys, the next minute they are in town on a cobblestone street trying to get away from the uncle and there were more situations..

I went to see this film feeling very lukewarm about what to expect but was gripped . Funny and shocking in places, it rambles along just as the runaways do. The film succeeds in making you suspend disbelief as you surrender to the magic of it, as if made in a time before mobile phones and social media. Molly Windsor is magnetic as the teenager holding everything together.

Such a beautifully told story, it had me gripped throughout. The film deals with some harsh realities with grit, grace, and humour; the children's performances are captivating, the scenery is stunning, the score is delightful. Well done Team The Runaways.

Saw this little Brit indie gem of a film in Halifax in West Yorkshire on a wet Sunday afternoon; didn't know much about it before hand but so glad went to see it. The director Richard Heap and two of the teen actors did a Q&A afterwards. The story opens in Whitby where the trio of kids are being raised ad hoc by their loving but heavy drinking Dad (played by Mark Addy) and after a family tragedy and the return of their violent uncle the kids flee with 2 of the donkeys from their seaside day job onto the North Yorkshire moors escaping and on the run. The story follows their adventures and charts their emotional as well as physical journey. It is touching, heartbreaking, witty, insightful and packs a big emotional wallop. Catch it if you can.

Saw this Indie drama at the High Peak Independent Film Festival. Lovely production values and some decent storytelling. Gentle pace to the film that starts to drag a bit after a while but Mark Addy, Lee Boardman and Tara Fitzgerald are all in good form and all the kid actors do a fine job.

Worth a look.
