Tough to watch yet no hyperbole. Living conditions framing the background to this film allow a fleeting glimpse at poverty in South East Asia's most densely populated metropolitan area where poverty is steadily increasing.
Both lead actors were so convincing I could not believe they were no exceptionally talented street children.

I was totally interested in this film. It pulled me in and was engaging and engrossing. The ending was a huge disappointment for me.
I am tired of the what comes around... endings. It's a film for a reason..you may play around with ideas. You don't need to 100 percent mirror real life. That being said, the film was very engaging. BUT THE ENDING SUCKED.
Just finished watching this film,and I have to say it took my breath away.
This is quite possibly one of the most brutal heart wrenching films I've ever seen.
There is far too much to write about without giving away spoilers so I just implore people to watch it.
The acting by the main two characters is amazing,where it's shot is sickening,just a mad metropolis full of poverty and crime everywhere,the way this is shot adds to the claustrophobia and nausea of where it's set.
This film is superb I am really struggling to find fault with it and can say it's been the first film in a long time that had an impact on me.
Like I said earlier,I don't like to give away spoilers so I've kept this short,but this is a must see film...
Just watch it!!!!

Quite an engrossing movie and I could relate to it as an Indian from India in many ways including the police and the media.
Both the actors justified their roles very well.
The ending left me thinking. Was it that the child they found was really not Aryan, or was it that Jane remembered the dialog that Ariel said in the bus about the child now being in excellent care and that she decided to leave the child in foster care even though she knew that the baby was Aryan.
The movie did highlight the issues relating to the underprivileged people. And yes, the paradoxical truth also emerged. They wanted to fend for the baby, even though through unethical means and they did not succumb to the offers of buying the child or taking a loan.
It surely was a excellent portrayal of the conflicted ideals of an underprivileged society TRUE in any country of the Third World.
