A patient, formally daring work — the cinematography lingers on empty rooms longer than most audiences will tolerate, but those who stay are rewarded with the most haunting final act of the year.
A seven-year-old boy eagerly awaits the football shoes his father promised to bring him from abroad. But when he opens the suitcase, he finds an unrelated pair of men’s shoes instead. The boy’s innocent attempts to turn those shoes into the football boots he had dreamed of lead him into a series of bittersweet and humorous adventures.

I walked in expecting another genre exercise and walked out feeling like I'd been eavesdropping on a confession. The lead performance is genuinely singular — a career-defining turn.

A few too many scenes feel borrowed from a better film, but the soundtrack and the production design carry the rest. Solid recommendation for fans of slow-burn European thrillers.
