I remember watching getting blindsided by death and then realising none of it was real.

My first major critic of a movie. Just sat back with my little brother and both of us just thought it would have been far more enjoyable if there was no death or at the very least if everything was actually real.

Looking back I can see it was trying to tell a story about the loss of innocence and a child having to face how cruel the world can be but my god that was not how the movie was advertised at all from what I remember.
