(BluR) Kore-Eda goes to Corea and offer this road family coming of age disfunctional 'family'/group trying to sell a baby but trying not to, while police are in their heels (his is he weakest part)...

(MU) Good theme, non explicit nos seen, but talked about in he last part, explianed by daughter because mother never realized it:rape and incest. Classical direction, good Virginie Effira...

(BluR) Happy Ford, he makes the story something personal, fathers Anne Shrley and accomplices Will Rogers and his soft hero nephew,and evarything, river, steamboat, bends,music and support characters are full of charm...

(BluR) Lean is irresistible. The plot is as fine as locations, photography and Maurice jarre music. Davis is impeccable, as Bannerjee is not. Fox never fails. The secuence with the monkeys is an excellent anticipation of the false sexual assault....

(MU) The boys are so conscious of everything, and the dialogues are so heavy and lacking colloquialism, that evarythin is lessr tahn it could be; but some boys are touching, as the brother of the 'convertion' facility chief...
