Children of Heaven poster

A pretty bland and barren feelgood drama. Not sure exactly what made this film stand out, but it seems to have amassed a broad range of fans over time. It's certainly an inoffensive film, one that stays clear from anything too enervating. Instead, you get a predictable and easily digestible story with doe-eyed kids.

Stylistically it's all very dry and functional. The performances aren't terrible, but nothing too special, the plot is just dire. At least the film is relatively short, but that's just a minor positive, as the direction and the outcome are all very much by the numbers. Not a film I'll fondly remember.
