Like a children's version of Shallow Grave, the film questions how would the innocence of children deal with stumbling upon a surplus of money. It's interesting how the small age difference between the two kids makes for two hugely different choices and reactions. Boyle cleverly blurs the lines between childlike like fantasy & spirituality with very real adult problems and issues. It's refreshing to see the normally violent director is still able to cherish the goodness of humanity with a wholesome film that reminds us even little changes matter.
