    An earnest kid who has to be the responsible grownup of the family.

    This movie has almost no dialog. We are witnesses to a 12-year old boy who has apparently had his childhood stolen from him by a most negligent and troubled single mother. While this boy shows all the interests of a normal kid (a really good kid} , we watch as his loneliness and constant worry for the destructive mom really takes a toll on him. It's a very good film for anyone who has empathy and kindness within and who also can see the painful beauty of the hardness of other's lives.

    Probably got the festival prize for most boring

    Many boring days in the life of a 12-year old in the middle of nowhere Texas. Nothing significant happens until the kid decides to drink some laundry detergent near the end. This stirs up his mom.

    Best thing about it is it probably cost about $500 to make. Reminds me of Super8 home movies.
