Wow. I saw only a few commercials for this movie early on a few years back and it really didn't look at all interesting, but I must admit I was blown out of the water with the complexity and quantity of themes ranging from cultural obesity to religion, soul searching to parent-adolescent relationships. The characters all developed layers of personality and you could truly feel for the pre-teens as they experience what could only be called "irreversible trauma" in the eyes of adults. The writing and style of the movie is even too real at times, which makes it all the more emotionally charged. By far one of the most satisfying dramas I've ever seen. 8.8/10.
