40 Steps

About This Movie

So, '40 Steps' from 2022 is this really interesting documentary shot in Tel Aviv. The focus is on this new elementary school, which is not just any school, but one that brings together kids from various backgrounds, including refugee children, which you don’t see every day. The film captures the atmosphere of the school and the challenges they face with a raw, almost intimate approach. The pacing feels organic, allowing you to soak in the little moments that make up these kids' lives. I found the practical effects minimal, but there’s something about the real interactions that makes it stand out. The performances, especially from the children, feel genuine and unpolished, adding to the film's emotional depth.
