I'm constantly disappointed by people who watch a movie like this one and try to hold it up to standards it was never intended to meet, then leaving scathing reviews. This is a simple story told in an interesting, quiet way, about a man struggling through hardship to try and reunite with his family. It's not an action film or a gee-whiz sci-fi loaded down with CGI and made ridiculous with inane, cutesy dialogue. In fact, it accomplishes its purpose with almost no dialogue at all. Call it an art film, an indy film, call it what you will. I just decided when I sat down to watch it that I was going to allow myself to take this movie in without becoming all "Mr. Film Critic." I came to the conclusion it does a good job of being what it is, and I'm rating it on that basis...not by comparing it against billion dollar blockbusters.
