With a box office flop and almost no lasting buzz, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for people who love a good growing-up story and people who like stories about real, flawed people. Small moments carry real weight here, the way they do when you're young.
- The mood
- Thoughtful and character-driven.
- The pace
- Gives its people room to develop, at 1 hr 12 min. An easy one to fit in on a school night.
- What might put you off
- Made in 1939: an older pace and style.
- Skip it if you need something light and fast tonight.
Social drama of Depression-era homeless children who turn to crime and are sentenced by a judge to a rehabilitation "labor camp".
