The film is of great simplicity; that is full of great laughs and touching moments all down to the great performances and the script but most of it is because of the relationship between the uncle and the boy; as we see this relationship blossom and develop that helps us as the audience, feel more intrigued into the lives and the outcomes of the characters thus we feel more welcome to laugh and feel sad as the film progresses. But it's also the tiny things that the director adds which makes it a little bit better like the use of the chapters to the set the tone for them series of acts in that specific chapter or the montage at the start giving a quick overview of the boy's misfits in urban life, sometimes the little things do matter.

On the other hand though this film isn't perfection or a masterpiece(you shouldn't expect it to be)the pacing feels 'awkward' or 'misplaced' which sometimes destroys the atmosphere of the film. But it's exactly what you expect it to be, which can always be good sometimes.
