Applaud the cast and crew
This movie was made on a shoestring budget. Listen to the commentary and you'll find out they had no resources except a great script and a cast that was willing to work for peanuts. Working with children in a movie is always hard under the best of conditions, but here, with big group scenes and overlapping dialogue, they got so lucky with their child actors. I liked the movie a lot and the whole time I was watching I kept saying, "How did they do that?" over and over in my head. Amazing movie here.
