Poignant though it is, the movie is the opposite of depressing. There is too much life in it.Full Review
Haroun is deft at handling the joys and pain of childhood. He neither condescends nor over-sentimentalizes. It is a story of separation anxiety (for Amine) and coming of age (for Tahir) and it's universal.Full Review
Haroun and cinematographer Abraham Haile Biru carefully frame their characters with a painterly elegance that is at times truly startling.Full Review
