The world disappeared

Rating: 10/10 (1 January 2013)

For the brief time at the theater watching this movie, I was so involved with the characters and story that I really felt that the world had disappeared.
For me the movie hit a lot of my life in a very personal way. I was never an outcast or somebody with the issues the main characters faced, but life in general has its way of throwing challenges that we all have to face at some time or another.
I felt the acting was very well done. Everybody seemed quite sincere in their presentation of their character, which really made me feel like I was watching somebody's life rather than a movie.
The movie left me very pensive even days after seeing it, which many movies don't seem to achieve (for me at least..) I think this movie really speaks a loud tone, especially in this country of gun violence by young children. Perhaps the problems and backgrounds of the main characters may give an idea of why those few young people (and even older) decide to kill.
Well done overall. One of the best films I've seen in a while.
