Review of Valentin

Valentin (I) (2002)
2/10
Twee - dull
28 April 2004
This was terribly disappointing. I looked forward to seeing this greatly but the sentimentality of it was horrendous. It never missed an opportunity to be saccharine-sweet and this became intensely irritating. Appended to the fact that there is no plot and is merely one twee scene followed by another makes this a very disappointing experience. Not good. Surely, we must evolve beyond the cute kid being cute kind of movie. How about some realism rather than just aiming for the tear-jerking (or giggling hysterically, if you're me) moments of cute kid trying to survive in a world of ignorant adults. That point has been made so many times: it doesn't need to be told again
