Slumdog Millionaire Review

I have trouble when I review things that I give too much away.  I don't want to do that with Slumdog Millionaire but I do want to give my thoughts on it.

First, if you watch this movie and don't find it to be emotionally moving then you are dead inside.

It's a love story, a coming-of-age story, and a commentary on the poverty in the countries like India. The movie unfolds in a mostly linear fashion (regarding the flashbacks) but weaves in many non-linear elements that very much enhance the technique. 

The main character, Jamal, was a boy is one of the best precocious children I've seen in a movie.

I'm really struggling not to give too much away. So I'll have to keep this short and tell you to go watch this movie. Seriously, go now. Right now. I'll wait.
