The Kid (1985) is a curious piece. The way it portrays a group of pupils on a seemingly simple trip morphs into this layered exploration of perception. You’ve got these moments where adults interpret the kids' actions in wildly different ways, which honestly feels like a commentary on how we view childhood itself. The pacing is a bit uneven, but it kind of adds to the charm—gives it an off-kilter rhythm. The practical effects are minimal, but they serve the narrative rather than distract from it. Performances are genuine, capturing a sense of authenticity that feels rare. It's a bit of a head-scratcher, but that’s part of its appeal, really. Makes you think.
