My kids and I watched this, with me narrating the subtitles. It doesn’t feel quite like a kids’ movie, but I really enjoy watching movies with them *about* kids.
This is a slow and tender look at a boy’s grief juxtaposed with his extended family’s difficulties living in the Ethiopian countryside. His lamb serves as an object of his grief and his only faithful companion as everyone else around him is also struggling with their own lives. There were a half dozen scenes of the sheep just chewing that really show a camaraderie between them, a very patient and effective tactic. I also enjoyed the long shots of the countryside as punctuation of the arc of his life thus far, both physically and emotionally. 4 years 2 months ago -
