I have a three year-old at home, so I don’t go to movies like I used to, in fact without Netflix my life would have a film shaped void.
So “In America” arrived and I must say, I loved it. The whole film is exquisitely tender. The girls’ sense of wonder brings a softness and a glow to whatever they see, whether it is a street fair or a broken-down air conditioner. Lovely, touching performances by all, especially the Bolger sisters and Hounsou, add delicacy and lyricism. The story may be predictable but thankfully it is messy and episodic enough to capture the attention and even the heart.
peace, dwight
