In dire straits of the inevitable american remake, LTROIN is a refreshing movie one every level. It’s got great atmosphere, a compelling script, and isn’t easy to classify: neither horror neither thriller although it’s got elements of both. It’s an existential film about the cruelty of childhood, and the story of two children who share something in common…despite being very different. What I liked most is atmosphere, cinematography is excellent. The kids a great, and the minimalist approach makes the story work, by grounding it in reality. what I didn’t like was the pacing was uneven, stops and starts with no direction is not a good idea for a movie like this. At 110 minutes, it was way too long for a story with only two characters and not a lot interesting in between. Chop that shit up and it’s a perfect 80 minute feature with momentum, it didn’t ruin it for me but I wished it was shorter.
