Ambitious, Edgy, Great acting

See it if You want to experience how kids think and react nowadays. Not realistic though, my 6 years old niece surely do not act or talk like that.

Don't see it if Watching a 6 years old talks like an adult is too much for you. Not sure about the focal point of the story is being conveyed.
