If the seconds get implemented inconsistently in different systems, clocks can briefly
go out of synch, potentially leading to glitches that can stall computers and leave international financial markets vulnerable to attack.
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.
