There's so much to love about this film: the cinematography is elegiac and atmospheric, and sets up such a gorgeously doomed mood. The cast is incredible - the child actors are compelling (reminded me of 'mid90s', or 'Lawn Dogs'), and Perlman, Boone Jr and Pitt are such quality character actors - this film is rich with what they provide, alongside the others I haven't seen as often. I adored the 'Oliver Twist'/'Romeo and Juliet' aspects ... in fact, there's heaps in here that's classic Shakespeare - reunification after years, the inescapability of fate, closeness despite mistaken identity, the goodness of a person that circumstances can never extinguish. It doesn't overexplain anything - it invites you in, and you get closer to the trajectories of the characters the more you read them and their motivations and rich inner lives. Loved it so much. Highly recommended.
