Sarah Bolger singing desperado makes this 10 stars
21 July 2013
This movie is about many things. The main plot line is family pain and struggle.

What makes this movie great though is its portrayal of mental health and its "solutions". One is just reaching out to a hermit. The beauty and power of children to accomplish this.

The power of that message is in this song. Sarah Bolger has an absolutely incredibly fantastic and beautiful singing voice, and the song's punchline is "let somebody love you before its too late"

That message applies to her character's parents, and the more obviously sad character in the film.
