While the professional critics seemed to be falling all over themselves that this movie is a masterpiece, I feel somewhat relieved and encouraged that most non-professional critics had a similar reaction as mine, which is that it wasn't very good.
We're all waiting to see the ending that will hopefully make sense of what we saw, and instead, I was even more confused. Even doing some online research to figure out what it all means, I have seen nothing that explains this in a satisfactory way. Coming-of-age? Of course. The lives of underprivileged children struggling to better themselves? Yep. But the problem is that it seems that the "fits" are a metaphor for something bigger, and Toni's final scene is also a metaphor for something bigger, but I honestly have no idea.
It's great that the film is only 72 minutes long, but that's about it. For most people (excluding professional critics, of course), I can almost guarantee that you're going to be stunned at the high critical acclaim, and wishing you did something else with your 72 minutes.
