    Chris Weitz has always been between mainstream bad movies and independent masterpieces. It's hard to imagine that this person has made [Twilight Saga 2]. This story is similar to the family work of [The Bicycle Stealer]. Moving, for a better life, even though the reality is more cruel, the father-son relationship is diffused. The pacing of the second half of the film is great, and it even has a commercial feel to it. ★★★☆
