There are no wishes.

Taking heavy inspiration from the work of Guillermo Del Toro (particularly 'Pan's Labyrinth (2006)' and 'The Devil's Backbone (2001)'), 'Tigers Are Not Afraid (2017)' mixes harsh reality with dark fantasy. It's a little uneven in its blending of its two core elements; nevertheless, it's an engaging and palpable experience throughout. Even when it's at its most fantastical, it always retains a level of sobering realism. It isn't afraid to get heavy. The affair is sometimes a bit inconsistent when it comes to tone, as it attempts to blend the inherent innocence of childhood with the vicious circumstances of its setting, but it hits the right notes when it needs to. A large part of why it's so successful is that its lead actors are remarkably good, especially considering their young age and lack of experience. They ground the already grounded experience and make caring for the characters actually rather effortless. Ultimately, this is a well-made and compelling drama. 7/10

A life most of us couldn't imagine

This movie was well done, although I didn't quite connect with the style. It is about a girl who is orphaned when her mother is killed by drug runners. She joins a group of young boys who live on rooftops and enters a world that most people couldn't even imagine would be possible for children. They have to survive on their wits and stick together, because the drug lords are coming for them: one of the boys stole an incriminating cell phone that captures a murder on video. The reason he wants the phone is because it has the only pictures of his mother that exist. It's pretty sad and tragic, and has some fantasy elements that allow for a happier ending that would really be possible, but it is very well done. I am glad I watched it.
