Fan4/5

A very good movie with a very realistic setting. It really made me reflect on how some people cling so tightly to misfortunes or difficult situations that it is often hard for us to hold onto the things in life that are actually going well. Although it is a family movie, I don't think it's suitable for young children—not because it contains inappropriate material, but simply because they generally wouldn't understand it. I’m deducting one star for that reason alone.
