Monsieur Ibrahim

I just finished watching Monsieur Ibrahim et les fleurs du Coran which something of a coming-of-age story, but without the approach typical of those types of films. Momo is a boy living in the shadow of an older brother, abandoned by his family, and so he finds a father figure in the shopkeeper that lives on his street. And so Momo learns from this man how to believe in himself and how to enjoy life. Many will find this a touching film, but I was a little bored by it and I can't say I found any part of it particularly memorable.
