Audience Reviews for Not One Less

  • Feb 06, 2012
    Lovely film about a teacher's mission to ensure that children are still educated when he is challenged with a personal responsibility for a month.

    Do you have a heart that beats inside your body? If you do, then you will like this film. It starts out a little slow, but gets better in the middle and ends with a powerful climax. Yimou Zhang direction is perfect. He just simply tells the story, and it looks great. There is no ego, or fancy editing. The kids in this film are about the cutest things I've ever seen, and are very true to life. In fact, all of this film is very true to life......and like life, it can be beautiful and sad at the same time.
