The film’s most engaging point is that it stays completely in the perspective of the young girl. Even though the story takes place in London, with underlying cultural tensions and conflicts, we see everything through her eyes. Intellectually, we feel the weight of reality, but emotionally, there’s a sense of innocence and lightness?a paradox that makes her view of the world both touching and unique.
