FOREIGN LETTERS (2011)
I know, I know, I *should* be watching all eighty episodes of Game of Thrones, but instead I just watched an exquisite, gentle, autobigraphical film about two twelve-year-old girls, Ellie and Thuy, both immigrants to America because their families left their home countries, Israel and Vietnam, due to war. A quiet character study, this film is intimate, real, and a bit quirky. The music is lovely. If you like this sort of human portrait story, I recommend this. I saw it on Kanopy, available through the public library.
