Review of Life, Above All (2010) by Roger Ebert for Chicago Sun-Times — 31 Aug 2011
The film's ending is improbably upbeat: Magic realism, in a sense. It works as a deliverance. Dennis Foon's screenplay is based on the novel "Chanda's Secrets" by Canadian writer Allan Stratton.
It is a parable with Biblical undertones, recalling "Cry, the Beloved Country.".
