Review of The Rocket

The Rocket (2013)
10/10
A beautiful and intense journey of a Laos boy fighting his curse
11 April 2013
The film 'The Rocket' encompasses beautiful, honorable and unique sets of attributes that have touched me and I expect will touch audiences around the world. What is remarkable, is that the heart of this story is actually transferable to any community in our world. 'The Rocket' is one of the first proper feature films based in Laos. It shows its stunning landscape with excellent cinematography and also touches tastefully on some controversial issues, which have been shaping the country in the past and the present. The sensitive storyline includes many layers that give it texture, which makes it such a rich movie and exiting journey for the audience. The acting, especially by the main cast, is very convincing and touching. The two child protagonists are extraordinary! All in all a unique feature film that takes you on a heart moving journey.
