    This movie opened my eyes to a lot of africas suffering. I am a student in middle school and I usually don't think about other things besides school and friends, but this made me relize everything else in the world.

    Saw this movie at a film festival last summer. Fantastic. It's funnier than you would expect given the subject matter and while the constructed narrative doesn't quite hold together, it captures so many wonderful, funny, uncomfortable, fascinating moments, you will have to enjoy it.

    From the standpoint of humanizing Sudan's continuing refugee problem, Lost Boys is a gem. It doesn't preach. It doesn't prettify.

    A potent, engrossing look at several young refugees from Sudan's disastrous, endless civil war who've been relocated to the U.S.

    Getting an audience so caught up is no small feat; it is a tribute to the directors' storytelling.
