Review of The Only Son

The Only Son (2013)
8/10
A different view on growing up?
20 May 2013
Intriguing documentary. One could enjoy it just for the scenery.

It's one of those films that forces the viewer to re-examine their lifestyle and values, at least the ones taken for granted in the developed world. I think many of us get frustrated at having to wait 10 minutes at a stop light or for anything blocking our rush to get to the next activity; this movie centers around a family that must walk for 10 days to get to an airfield to take them to another airport to catch a flight to Kathmandu.

And for parents in the West, maybe a good idea to take children who perhaps complain a bit too much about not having enough of the "right things."
