User review:
By some definition, this is a great film. It is as “still” as any movie I’ve ever seen (rivaled, perhaps, only by BARRY LYNDON), meditative, thoughtful. The soundtrack of pop tunes is part of the content of the film: remembered music, remembered frights, remembered ease. Director Terence Davies, in recalling his youth in Britain in the 1950s, has filmed a metaphor for growing up that resembles TO KILL A MOCKINGBIRD, plus color, minus the melodrama. This film will definitely not be to everyone’s taste, but for those who are of the right age and sensibility, it may be a transforming experience.

David (verified owner) –
A surrealist film about an Irish Catholic boy in the 1950s. very few words. Mostly a melancholy story about a shy boy .
