I mean, it squeezed or stung my heart at several moments along the way, and yes, there's a tragic aspect to it. There are also a couple of scenes of disheartening (not bloody or bone-breaking, but disheartening) violence, a smidgen of language, and an inappropriate "beyond the classroom" relationship between two folks—although it's handled in a mostly offscreen, "PG" fashion. But the down-to-earth quality of the story, the easy pace, the understated yet heartfelt beauty of this substantive slice of a small-town boy/young man's life... Even while I was pretty sad here and there, I felt like I was wrapped up in a soft, consoling blanket, and I ultimately had to smile. sem críticas | adicionar uma crítica
