  absolutely tantalizing. an amazing movie

It was an intriguing movie about a darker side of life. Sometimes the life we are born into isn`t normal or functional. Sometimes it is only about surviving with the only skills passed on during youth. Sometimes you might even dream of attaining a somewhat normal life, if only someone else believed you deserved a chance.

An excellent movie that deserved regular release, unless this was done in limited release which, if so, I probably missed.
