Movie Reviews of Abandoned

Movie Review: Like voyeurism
Summary: 1 Stars

I had been waiting a long time to see this movie. I guess it never could live up to the anticipation.

I felt horrible throughout the whole film. The acting and cinematography were lovely, I have no complaints there. But the story was hard to take, not to mention unbelievable.

I didn't know enough about the history of Hungary to understand the political turmoil with as much information as is provided. There's really no explained reason for the headmaster to be so cruel. I can't really even figure out the conflict of the film - no big epiphany. I was disappointed.

and I felt like a voyeur watching the lives of little boys (there are subtle sexual suggestions which I was very relieved didn't go anywhere)

Summary of Abandoned

Nine-year-old Aron finds himself abandoned at a bleak orphanage by his recently divorced and despondent father. The ultra-strict nature of the institution comes as a complete shock to the boy, and he must frequently endure beatings both from the staff and the other boys. He finds solace in a special relationship with his young classmate Attila. And that sexual awakening gives him the courage to lead his peers in revolt. In Hungarian with English subtitles.
