watch this movie and i can not help draw the comparison between it and wild reed and another thoughtful film about teenager come of age . like wild reed and this movie be slow and the director would not be hurry . so if you want a quick resolution to thing and do not watch it . this movie be like a slice of life and begin imperfectly and end imperfectly . there no resolution to anything and no happily ever after for anybody and just like real life . this movie be as real a it get . the acting be surprisingly good . the director be fond of long and really long and shot and the actor and actress excel at show subtlety and inner thought . i love this movie . i almost do not watch it but now i be very glad that i do . it not a movie for everyone but if youre willing to let it grow on you and you will be reward . positive .
