Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

All of these films share one commonality, that being a kind of emotional center that humanizes a cast of monsters.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

A bleak film seen through the eyes of the 12/13 year-old boy Susa - a really convincing performance by Avtandil Tetradze - who is ever present.Susa lives in poverty with his mother, earning a small amount by selling bottles of illegally produced gin. Although street-wise, he is targeted by two older teenagers who demand money and bully him if he tries to avoid them. The only hope is that when Susa's father returns he will deliver the boy and his mother from poverty and a dead-end existence.Unlike many other films which deal with this theme, Susa does have a very caring, loving and hard-working mother. Susa keeps his own problems from her, not wanting to add himself to her own trials: I found this very moving.Not a great amount of dialogue - but you don't need it.

Pretty well acted and filmed, continuously entertaining, but left me very depressed behind. The latter came forth from observing the circumstances people have to live in, due to no fault of their own.The whole movie long we are expecting his father. Eventually, he appears BUT improves nothing in the situation at hand. Even worse, while I was expecting (hoping) that he would intervene in the daily "meeting" with two guys on the street who confiscate part of Susa's earnings, he knowingly ignored the problem and did nothing to help.The screening that I attended was part of the Rotterdam Film Festival 2010. The maker was present and we had an enlightening Q&A, especially about how the movie ended with a confrontation between two main characters. That final clash solved nothing, hence my depressed feelings about the hopeless situation these people are in. The Q&A clarified a lot of things that were not apparent for me while viewing. The latter can be my fault, of course.
