Storyline
A coming of age story about two inner city youths, who are left to fend for themselves over the summer after their mothers are taken away by the authorities.
I saw this film at Sundance and the cast and crew got about four
standing ovations. People who raved about Fruitvale said this film tops
it. This a great film! This film is a cross between Spike Lee's
Clockers (1995) and Hirokazu Koreeda's Nobody Knows (2004), with a bit
of Fresh (1994) mixed in. Based on a true story, Nobody Knows portrays
siblings who are abandoned by their mother and forced to survive on
their own. Resiliency is a trait of many urban kids. Even in tragedy
they were just kids. Mister and Pete doesn't try to let the audience
"off the hook". The performances pull you in, or at least it did for
me.
I was surprised to see how low the ratings were for this film.
