Hide Your Smiling Faces

It's hard to know how to review this film other than to say I enjoyed it. It is beautifully shot, well acted, atmospheric and, for everyone who was once a boy growing up, painfully nostalgic. There is not really a lot of plot to speak of and at the end of the movie I was left wondering what it was all about. I guess it's just about boys being boys becoming men and, along the way, dealing with life, its tragedies, disappointments, puzzles, mysteries and the friends and family that are on the journey with you. That doesn't sound like anything too startling, but it still makes for a captivating movie here.
