Review of The Rocket (2013) by Tor M — 03 Sep 2014
I guess this little gem took me by surprize. Never read much about it, never saw the trailer, but I saw it got a whole lot of awards.
A very imaginative plot it's about a boy from Laos that everyone thinks is nothing but trouble. He and his family lives in a simple environment to say least. They need to get a move on and they never stay in the same place for long. This is also a vital part of the film. It never stands still. Moments come up, old moments are cared for - this is taking a whole lot of depth and content - at it does so brilliantly.
Cool characters and amazing child acting from very charming kids. it got a realistic feel, but not a documentary groove. It's a visual, intense and beautiful story with several moments that will make you smile. It's almost a great film for kids as well, it's just a little too raw at times. A warm and very cultural film with an anstonishing climax.
8.5 out of 10 bats.
