A Story of Children and Film is the world's first movie about kids in global cinema. Read more …
It's passionate, poetic, portrait of the adventure of childhood: its surrealism, loneliness, fun, destructiveness and stroppiness: as seen through 53 great films from 25 countries. A story of children and film is an eye opener, a landmark film and a celebration of both childhood and the movies.
Another thoughtful and lovingly crafted jalopy ride through cinema by Cousins. A must for anyone who loves film.
Our host’s lilting voiceover remains an acquired taste, but his boundless passion is never in question.
Very enjoyable, [but] intrusive curation dominates in the rearview mirror.
Idiosyncratic essay about children in movies from all over the world; the commentary is a bit precious but the clips are intriguing.
Playful and profound.
This is such a rich, generous documentary study.
A hugely impressive work by a uniquely talented storyteller.
Despite these weaknesses there’s no denying the well-curated source material.
Fascinating.
