Ain't no sunshine ...

Rating: 10/10 (14 June 2020)

Well I have to admit I never understood nor do I think I will understand the need for very young girls to be displayed and taking part in such competitions like the mentioned "Little Miss Sunshine". Our main kid here is quite excited about that competition and she is so good in this movie. You may have seen her as adult or grown up before you watch this, but I reckon it was obvious from this one, she had acting talent.
But she is also surrounded by quite the ensemble of actors. The script is also really good - and the extras on the disc make clear that also some nice ad lips add to the overall excitement. There are so many things that have to work, for a movie like this to be in the right lane - no pun intended. It's such a tightrope thing that you have multiple endings that were shot. But the one they ultimately used is the best one (imho).
If you like dramas that feel and are real to life (with annoying behaviour, with characters that have to develop and have to overcome certain flaws) ... this is one of the movies you have to watch! No matter what you think of kids beauty peagants.
