Coming Soon: Kisses

I love this movie already. Does that make me look like a wimp?  I think it was a couple of years ago now after the Toronto Film Festival that I remember hearing some buzz about Kisses, the Lance Black helmed film about two Irish kids who run away from their  troubled lives and spend one glorious, whimsical night out on the town. It didn't seem like the type of thing that would ever hit our shores, but apparently that's changed and it will be released in July. I can always tell the movies I'm going to fall for right away, and my DVD shelf is stocked with movies just like this one(look up Danny Boyle's MILLIONS if you haven't seen it).

Take a peek at the trailer followed by a brief synopsis, and as always let us know what you think!



SYNOPSIS:
From director Lance Daly (Last Days in Dublin, The Halo Effect) comes the story of two young runaways living in the fringes of Dublin who discover both beauty and danger in the big city. Kylie lives with 5 siblings and an overworked mother. Next door, Dylan is growing up with an abusive father and the memory of his runaway brother. One day, after a violent altercation with his father, Dylan and Kylie flee. Together they make their way to the magical lights of downtown Dublin to search for Dylan’s brother and the hope of a new life. Dublin, as shown through the innocent eyes of our young protagonists, is a kaleidoscope of magic, wonder and mystery. But as the night wears on, Dublin takes on a darker character and the two children learn that they have to rely on the kindness of strangers and the sagely wisdom of Bob Dylan to persevere. Featuring two incredible breakthrough performances by Shane Curry and Kelly O’Neill, Kisses is a tale of two children who test the limits of what life can become and in the process learn what they can do for each other.
