About This Movie

It Works (1998) is a documentary that focuses on the lives of four ten-year-olds with disabilities. What’s striking here is their sheer determination and resilience. The film captures their everyday activities and creative pursuits with a raw honesty, reflecting both the struggles and triumphs of childhood. The pacing is deliberate, allowing moments to breathe, which emphasizes the weight of their achievements. Minimalist in style, it relies heavily on real interactions rather than fancy editing or effects, which adds to its authenticity. The performances, if you can call them that, feel genuine, like you’re privy to their world. It’s a niche piece, showcasing the beauty of human spirit in a way that’s refreshingly unfiltered.
