If the Shoe Fits (Most of the Time) - The Children of Heaven review by griggs
There’s something very winning about a film built around two kids sharing a pair of trainers. Majid Majidi’s Children of Heaven takes that tiny premise and makes it feel huge through their eyes — a family drama scaled to a child’s world, but never so slight that adults are left outside it.
It does loosen a bit in the middle, circling the same emotional ground once or twice too often. But when it lands, it really lands.
A small, generous film with more heart than discipline, though not by much.
