Oh how lovely this film is! Until I actually sat in the dark of the Helios Nowe Horyzonty cinema (host of T-Mobile Nowe Horyzonty Festival), I didn't know what to expect. OK, it won Sundance and got several nods in Cannes, but I've witnessed lots of mistakes made with many awards. But this time, it was different. So fresh and original, a modern fairy-tale with lovely lovely characters. Quvenzhané Wallis (born in 2003!) is exceptional, can't wait to see what will she become in the future! And to think that the film is a full-length debut of Benh Zeitlin... Highly recommended!
