Early in the Morning

About This Movie

Early in the Morning is this haunting tale that really sinks its teeth into you. The story follows Yaguiné and Fodé, two schoolboys who are just trying to break free from their dire circumstances. I mean, it really captures that desperate feeling of wanting to escape, you know? The pacing is a bit slow but in a way that lets the tension build; you can really feel their struggle. The performances are raw, almost like you're peeking into their lives. I found the visuals striking too, contrasting their harsh reality with the glimmer of Western wealth. It's a tough watch, but it digs deep into themes of hope and desperation that feel very real.
