One of the most visually stunning movies I have ever seen! "District 9" comes to mind thinking of a film that the effects blew me away. Niether of these are kids movies. This movie is about broken homes, a depressing subject. Angst, fear and anger pervade throughout it. The story just won't relate to kids with traditional families and the suddlety of the details won't speak to kids at all. The childs acting was great. ART FILM ON STERIODS sums it up.
