Dada Kubin's rating of the film Little Wing
Dada Kubin

A life affirming story of a 12-year-old looking for her father when her single mother fails to grow up as a parent. It’s obvious from the beginning where this movie is going, but the character of the father breaks the expectations both for the viewer and for Varpu. “Little Wing” is a kind of a fairy tale, a bit naive but with a wonderful main character.

Lucy Zhang's rating of the film Little Wing
Lucy Zhang

Sheer magnificence out of an unforced and unassuming portrait of adolescence; reminded me to be faithful to my day-to-day life.
