There honestly is nothing to remark on the way this is shot. It flows incredibly naturally and there's not a single shot that is wasted. It has the perfect runtime and the story beats are on point. The two child actors, combined with the solid filmmaking makes this a movie that works really well. With a simple, but poignant story of family, it shows you the experience through the eyes of the children and how they deal with their own problems and what they find important. Especially Ali is a very soulful character, putting his sister in the first place even if it means he has to suffer the consequences of those actions. Really delightful.

“You’re not a kid anymore, you’re nine!” Lol. Anyway, this proves that you don’t always need high stakes or an antagonist to make a decent movie. It will not blow your socks off, but it’s short and sweet. And that’s fine by me. What else do you expect from a movie about lost sneakers?
