Abreu's visionary movie is a restless and dynamic creature that is forever reconstituting itself into complex visual and musical landscapes.

Although the film is a bit abstract and largely free of dialogue (what little speaking there is is a whispered babble of tongues), it has a universal simplicity-we're seeing life through the wide, innocent eyes of a naif.

Abreu handcrafted his images, and the imagination from which those images spring is astonishingly fertile.

Boy and the World ventures into an animated abyss and what I pleasantly found, is a joyous journey worthy of experiencing.
