Hottoceame The Age of Commercialism

Pacionsbo Absolutely Fantastic

Taraparain Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

Deanna There are moments in this movie where the great movie it could've been peek out... They're fleeting, here, but they're worth savoring, and they happen often enough to make it worth your while.

griz-259-175100 In an era when many movies are just re-hashes of other movies this little production distinguishes itself. Very watchable. Touching. Engaging. Real. Anyone who has known loss way too soon in life will identify. The lead actor has real talent. You quickly forget you're watching an actor, so natural is his performance. And the directing distinguishes itself as well. It's said never work with animals or children, or animal-like children (hey, he growls and bites!). But the performance coaxed out of this young talent is notable. And I can't imagine working with a bird was any easier. Kudos all around And please do watch it until the very end for a very special scene.

bts1984 In a time when most movies are all flour of the same bag, it's refreshing to see a touching, sensitive movie like this. There are many movies about dogs, few are about cats and even less so are about birds or other animals. This is one of those rare movies about birds.Basically it tells the story of a lonely dutch child with the strange name of Jojo and his special friendship with an adorable baby jackdaw. The kid has a peerless performance and so does the bird. The friendship and love between the boy and the bird is the best aspect of this good movie. Its worst aspect is Jojo's father, a cold and distant man with tendency for violence. Another thing I don't like in this otherwise great movie is the horrible way the innocent bird dies, even if it was accidental. The poor thing was loved by Jojo, hated by Jojo's father and died so horribly.The title of this movie strongly resembles "Cowboy", both written and spelled. But its meaning is entirely different.Title in Portugal: je ne sais pas.

Ibrahim Ghazal i really enjoyed the movie it was quite amazing the story line was good the acting was good basically everything. but I didn't enjoy the parts where the boy was always shirtless and also the girl but i loved the movie, the ending was really good instead of everything happy and stuff the bird dies and the son and his father have a better relationship. but I myself have seen many movies the are the same. there is a boy that has no mom and has to live with his dad that is depressed and abuses his son. In other words the movie is to mainstream. i wish u guys comment on my review and help me correct something that i mistaken and thank you. I rated this movie 8 out of 10 since i mentioned what i disliked and liked.

sanjsrik The movie starts out the same way it ends. Whatever you do, see it with subtitles. If it does come out dubbed, I wonder if something may be lost.Jojo is a little boy, maybe 8 or 10, he's struggling with his mom not being around. he talks to her on the telephone telling her things about his life and the Jackdaw chick he's rescued from the nest. He initially tries to return the chick but the mother refuses and tries to attack him and the chick falls back out. He takes the chick home.Throughout the movie when you suspect that the tone is going to get deep and heavy and maudlin, it lilts back to life thanks to an incredibly moving soundtrack and Jojo's spirit with the connection to the Jackdaw chick. There's so much more going on in this movie than meets the surface. It's one of those that should be watched more than once. To see such a spectacular performance from the main character is simply amazing.No spoilers, just, if you're lucky enough to see this movie, enjoy it. It's worth the effort to find.
