“A beautiful film for theme and its fair exploration, for construction of story, sure, reminding too much a sketch, but, more significant, for the inspired performances.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eA film about be father and vulnerability of son, about boxing and friendship and refuge and a small community perspective about other , defined by rules and prejudices.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eYes, it could be better. But the essential is so clear and very precise defined. A story who surprises in few moments, just in beautiful manner.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIn short, new occasion for Tim Roth to propose fair definition of a character defined by ambiguity , for young Jordan Oosterhof to give fair traits to his Jim and for Conan Hayes to use the opportunities offers by his Whetu to define, in cold manner, the relation out of expectations of the others.”
