Today's Review: Kid

Wrote this review for MovieScene the other day:

So overall, an interesting concept, but not the best execution imaginable. It's a rather inaccessible and at turns downright dull film, but it's surprising to see the climax works as well as it does regardless. Does it help us better understand the inner mind of children after an intense trauma like the violent death of a parent? Not particularly. Does the plight of the main haracter(s) compel us enough to feel a sense of shock at the unpredictable conclusion of events? Apparently so. Considering we spent most of the time watching at people staring at each other in overly drawn out silent close-ups, Troch must have been doing something right after all. But that doesn't make for a fully satisfying cinematic experience.
