I saw this at the NZIFF, it was a very well presented movie.
The changes from wide open fields of flowers and freedom for two young boys, to the drabness of a classroom and the sterile colours of an ice hockey rink.
Sound design was on point as well.
All of this was able to show the different worlds the characters inhabit
The main story hits some real emotional notes, some that hit very close to home for me. It doesn't pull it's punches.
The two lead boys, both are amazing, for boys so young to give such great performances. The adults do really well, especially Remis mother.
The emotions that the actors could portray, even without saying anything were extraordinary.
