Side Walk

About This Movie

Sidewalk (2007) is quite the interesting documentary poem. It weaves together these seven parallel narratives of kids making their way to school. The rhythm and pacing really capture that mix of childhood freedom and the reality of urban life. You feel the weight of their little thoughts, the tension of the streets, and the fleeting joy of discovery. The film's atmosphere is like a soft echo of innocence shadowed by the complexities of the world around them. There’s a rawness to the stories, an honesty in how it portrays their daily routines. It’s not just a visual journey; it’s an emotional one that draws you in and makes you reflect on those small moments of independence.
