For some reason the director felt the need to continually run really melodramatic, lame music through the film. This was really unnecessary and at times even obscured what the subjects were saying. It needlessly calls attention to otherwise poignant moments and underestimates the viewers intelligence, regardless of their musical tastes. If music was needed, it would have been better and less distracting to have music without lyrics. That really added to the sap factor. Other than that it's an interesting and sad topic (an 11 year old boy losing his sight and learning to cope.) It begins to get really interesting when we learn how the family has been torn apart because of this. Mainly a "talking head" type of documentary.
