are well expressed. As you may or may not know, I spent several years in child protective services and many more in social services; my sister now works in child protective services in a large city. Perhaps that is why this film had such an impact on me? But I think it's more than just that: I didn't feel the film was slow. I'll go back and re-visit it at some point and see how my interest is kept. I certainly was apprehensive for the safety of the children and that may have been the reason for my unflagging attentiiveness.
I don't think I will ever forget the little gir's face...
Follow Ups:
Yes, I am aware of your sensitivity in that area, and I think more people should be.I tried to be careful with my description regarding "slow" (did I even use that word?)... it was more the monotonicity, a VERY gradual, perhaps too gradual a build up.
see "After Life."
You'll really like this one, perhaps even more (same director).
I don't know why exactly but I think it's because I felt like the character's - and their stories - were closer to cliche's than I expected. I only got about an hour in when I turned it off. I may have to give it another chance.As for Nobody Knows I definitely felt like it moved a touch too slowly at times but that didn't effect my overall enjoyment of/appreciation for the film. It's tough, even on film, to watch kids go through that... I can only imagine how hard to deal with some of things you witnessed must have been.
