  1. One of the many stylistic distinctions of this outwardly modest production is the complex voice that the filmmaker has found for his young hero.

    The film is warm and intriguing, and he (Valentin) is the engine that pulls us through it. We care about what happens to him; high praise.
  3. His constant chatter may grate, but Noya does the wide-eyed wonderment thing very well.

    Agresti's just out to give us a sentimental good time. Which some people, heaven help us, will have -- while the rest of us choke on the cutesiness.

    So touching, I can't helping crying while watching the movie. I have a good family, 2 kids and a wife. It reminds me what a busy life could miss, and when I was alone it let me feel all the importance of family and love to everyone else, especially to little ones. How fragile they could be without a normal life. Expand
