For Billie and Nico, life with their father is a roller-coaster ride of playfulness and unease. When he is in the grip of alcohol, tears flow and their apparently idyllic family life collapses. Their mostly absent and irresponsible mother is not much help either. But their friendship with Malik, a boy of Billie’s age, frees them from their shackles. Together they embark on a journey full of intense moments of freedom. The colourful, emotional world of the three young people is depicted in kaleidoscopic black and white imagery, which opens space for their own notions of childhood. Alexandre Rockwell's tale portrays a profound sense of solidarity and deep love: for cinema and Billie Holiday, and also for risk and adventure.

Like a loud, obnoxious drunk in a family restaurant who makes you uncomfortable, but not enough that you leave. Sweet Thing is a black & white postcard sent from the Florida Projects. There may not be a lot new in this film, but young Lana Rockwell is a revelation.

As if it were a diptych about childhood, Lana and Nico once again play two brothers who live with their father. More developed as a story, especially in the portrait of adults, there is a melancholic gaze (in the musical selection, for example), which shows an adolescence faced with more serious problems. It is, again, a poetic vision of a road movie, now not in search of something, but fleeing from someone.

So depressing to think that there are people who live like this, in the United States and in this day. But the film is wonderful. Might have been better on the big screen - the close-up shots were a little much for home viewing. And yeah, extra credit cause I'm a Van Morrison fan (title song).
