What a dark yet real coming-of-age tale. It’s so sad, yet so alive at the same time. There are some many images and scenes that are moving and engaging. I was on the verge of tears during the mouse scene. The scene in the bathtub is so playful and alive. The image of the field of wheat feels like a painting and she could have just made a film of that image alone. It’s interesting to see a young Tommy Flanagan on display. Other standouts of the cast include Leanne Mullen and William Eadie.
