Boring content in a beautiful package

Rating: 4/10 (24 June 2010)

I must say this is only a review of the first 50 min of the movie as I couldn't force myself to watch the rest. This movie is really boring, because beyond the initial originality of the storytelling (slightly sci-fi). The story of the main character is a boring set of cliché. For example, spoilers alert: A little kid (8yo) falling in love with a new girl at school, then seeing her again at (15yo), parents separating (5yo), etc. If you in that mood for those story lines, maybe the movie will interest you. I feel it didn't have nothing to say about any of those subjects.
The cinematography of the movie is beautiful. Nice transition between scenes, good camera work and beautiful 1950s pastel colors retro-style.
