If your job prevents you from spending quality time with your family, prohibits your ability to enjoy outside pursuits, leaves you impossibly stressed at the end of the day, consumes your every waking moment, bores you completely, challenges you less and less,
feels out of synch with your interests and abilities, or presents little opportunity for growth, a career change could be in order.
And until then, the film is so remarkable at
synching its picturesque style to Moonee's seemingly limitless freedom that the one time they do fall
out of sync
feels jarring, almost offensive: In long shot, Moonee and her friends charge past a series
of stores and toward the promise
of ice cream, and even after the children have exited the frame, the camera lingers on the sight
of an obese person on a scooter riding in the other direction, the sound
of the scooter going over a speed bump nothing more than a punchline, an easy potshot, at the expense
of a person who isn't even a bystander to Moonee's life.
