This movie is about a low-life kid. It is a brilliantly made film but too real-to-life. It reminds us how unfortunate the world is and tells us we must never let our children grow up like this. The movie does not have a payoff, unless you enjoy watching people living in the underbelly of society. For many of us who had no idea what illegal immigrants do to survive, this movie can be enlightening. But ignorance is bliss in that, having watched this movie, you may well be tempted to forget it in a hurry and rush back to your own relatively blissful, wonderful life.
