Review of The Kid with a Bike (2011) by Lenny P — 12 Feb 2012

1001 ways to get messed up in life and yes, love is the answer.

If one word can describe the theme of this beautiful cinema, then it is.

Love. I think you can call it a love story. No, not a romantic one, but.

An obsession to have someone that accept and love you, isn't is.

Universal? And if you are a kid that love comes normally from your.

Parents. If it isn't there, what you're going to do? Well, Cyril knows.

One thing. He must have it. Even when he cannot find his father, the.

Only person who suppose to give him unconditional love, he keeps.

Searching. Even when his father does not want to see him, he keeps.

Coming and begging for his love. And one time, in one second that he.

Could not go anywhere because people chasing him, he thought he had to.

Cling to something, someone, and fast. In that second that he had to.

Decide who is to be clung to among all people in the room, he clinged.

To Samantha. And boy, what a cling. That is the first encounter between.

The boy and the woman who loves him. Unconditionally. Well, I expect a.

Melodrama after this, but it is far from that. The plot and the acting.

Prevent any kind of melodrama and kitsch. Anyway, Cyril encounters.

Several paths that would almost ruin his life, or even take his life.

This is told convincingly, thanks to excellent performance of this.

Young actor. The final scene touched me the most when Cyril seemingly.

To decide to choose life above death because of love.
