If the trailer didn't bring tears to your eyes or at least give you goosebumps, then this movie is not for you. It is true that not much more than what you see in the trailer happens during the 85 minutes. The movie is just an extended version of the trailer, but the plot and the events are not the main features of this film. The predominant feature of this film is sentiment. The sentiment of a girl in adolescence that has her whole world shattered to pieces. The desperate sadness she feels when her parents decide to divorce and sell the house petite Solange grew up in. She is forced to grow up fast, through extreme amounts of pain, to the realization that life is not easy, nor pleasant, and nobody had ever prepared her for that. In the end, petite Solange reaches a high level of maturity and speaks out words of wisdom that even adults are in many cases unable to think and say. The epimyth of the film is that "Life goes on..."

The film is appropriate only for people with a high level of sensitivity, that have been through extremely rough phases in life. The rest might not be able to understand or appreciate it.

I loved it truly and wholeheartedly and I'm glad this piece of cinematography existed.

About 2 hours into the movie I started thinking out loud, wondering how old King Kong must be at that moment and whether there is any chance he dies from old age any time soon and he spares us the torture of watching more of this movie. Don't remember if my comment was appreciated by the company but this is the most vivid recollection I have from that night. The rest is some hazy memory of king kong trying to repel attacks coming relentlessly from all around him, again and again, and -to my disappointment- always managing to stay alive.

I would end my review here but imdb has a different opinion and wants me to write more. So here's a king kong related joke coming from a greek cartoonist. There's a huge ape drawn on paper and a tiny mouse right at his feet. The mouse despite its tremendously tiny size is full of audacity and asks the ape: "Aren't you ashamed, being a twenty-meter as...le and being called ping pong?? And the ape replies "It's King Kong". That's the only king kong reference I found enjoyable.

Happy now imdb?

I hope you are :-)

This is one of those films that require a certain type of psychological profile and mentality of the viewer in order to be able to understand and appreciate every single thing it has to offer.

For me it was an absolutely stunning film, one that raised my serotonin levels so much that I felt happy and kept thinking about it for a whole week after stepping out of the theater. And that is a great achievement for any work of art.

For the people that did not understand the movie, or think it's highly overrated or did not feel one single thing watching it, I don't know what's wrong with you people, but I don't think it's repairable. I guess you'll just have to live with it. Sorry about that.

P. S. Even the colors of the movie, the green-red combination that is prevalent in many scenes, add a whole lot to the watching experience. Not to mention the magnificent music. Overall a 10/10.
