Sinekatalog’s take
István Szabó's coming-of-age drama follows a boy growing up without his father, imagining him a hero, from the war to the 1956 revolution. András Bálint is touching in a fresh, personal and quietly moving Hungarian New Wave film.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
