The Painting - William Kjenner-Love's Review

4/13/13 - By LACFFCRITICS

Reviewer William Kjenner-Love is 9 years old and a student at Edison Language Academy

Sketchy was my favorite character, because he had no color, and he was the one that didn’t get squished. He reminded me of C-3PO from Star Wars.

The movie was sad sometimes, because of the bad who were hurtful to the nice people, but in the end it was worth it to watch because it had an important lesson: all people should be accepted for what they are and not for what they look like.

I would most likely recommend my friends to see this movie.

The Painting plays May 5, 2013, at 11am at The Aero Theatre. Buy tickets in advance through this link to make a donation to the school of your choice.
