| Movie Haiku: | Deceptively gentle coming-of-age tale distinguished by luminous location photography and earnest, low-key performances. All of the characters are a tad too “pure of heart” to be fully believable. Nevertheless, daily life at the orphanage is sufficiently heart-rending to ground the viewer & thereby moderate the sweet surface glow. |
