Acclaimed as a powerful and groundbreaking portrait of inner city life, Khaled is the story of a feisty 10-year-old boy (a breakthrough performance by Michael DAscenzo) who lives with his chronically ill, single mother in a Toronto housing project. When she suddenly dies, Khaled keeps her death a secret and attempts to carry on with school and his daily life as if everything were normal.

inglês At first, I was quite bothered by the digital visual aspect and low-budget quality of Khaled. The film begged for a more dignified look and dark, high-quality symphonic music. As the minutes passed, however, I was fully mollified by the nicely intensifying screenplay and creative directing in combination with the cinematography, which enhanced the drama fantastically (see, for example, the shot of Khaled running down the corridor to the cellar with a frying pan in his hand). In this instance, the cheap digital image was no longer a detriment, but rather gave the film naturalistic authenticity. The young actor and, mainly, the UNIQUE subject on which this brilliant film is based are worthy of praise. ()

inglês I don't need to have everything served on a golden platter, but the unfinished ending annoyed me a bit. Still, it is an interesting film, with a strong and original story. I loved the performance of the child actor in the lead role, he is natural for his age and does not overact. I didn’t mind the digital camera, on the contrary, it enhances the authenticity of the story. ()
