how is it this film has such a paltry rating? it is a wonderful piece of work by a young, well, wunderkind. and it amazes me that nobody has set forth here in commentary an enthusiastic appreciation thereof. it's hardly the mere aversion to brown eggs that makes these children decline their invitation to dinner, as the summary here suggests, but rather the nature of the "very special dinner" that mom is about to prepare that provokes a sort of perversity on the part of these kiddies in their final act of rebellion, in which they seem to kind of turn into being sort of normal: a beautiful metaphor for overcoming family.
this is a student film all student filmmakers should see to get an idea of how ambitiously they can attempt to create a whole universe within one film in order to talk about life as we know it. can't wait to see JT's first feature which I believe will have the excellent title "the loneliest boy in the world".
It would be nice if IMDb allowed reference to press reviews. this film got lots of glowing attention, well deserved!
