For most of its running time, it's a bit of a slog. To some degree, it's a rewarding slog, and yet even then, not entirely. January 28, 2016 | Rating: 2/4 | Full Review…

What these kids endure could easily read as melodrama on the page, but the movie - with its shaky camera work and amateur cast, including extras who were actual migrants - maintains a stark realism. September 10, 2015 | Rating: 3/4 | Full Review…
