Since he was a twin whose sibling was stillborn, it was not known which was the evil child and which the blessed one, according to Lao superstition.  The boy\u2019s aim is to prove to be the latter, which he can do by winning the annual rocket contest, filmed during the actual event by Andrew Commis.  The boy\u2019s best friend, Kia (Loungnam Kaosainam) is a girl about his age, an orphan who is theoretically cared by her alcoholic uncle Purple (Thep Phongam\u2014a Thai comedian with an impressive r\u00e9sum\u00e9), a man who think he\u2019s James Brown, wears his hair accordingly, and trots out a few dance steps to the beat of the soul singer.<\/p>\n<p>As for the leftist political message, the folks in the village are being displaced by modern imperialism, in this case a project of the Australian government to build dams, which would create electricity but would allegedly favor only Australian corporate interests.  (The production notes tell us that 60 million people around the world have already been displaced by dams alone.)  The mountain people, miserable and now living in tents, need a scapegoat: Ahlo, suspected by animists and perhaps some Buddhists of being cursed, is the obvious target\u2014a kid motivated not only to prove himself blessed but to restore his relationship with his emotionally distant father Toma (Sumrit Warin) and judgmental grandmother, Taitok (Bunsri Yindi).  Nor does it help the kid that the accidental death of his mother, Mali (Alice Keohavong) is blamed on him.<\/p>\n<p>The co-production of Australia, Laos and Thailand, entered by Australia as a candidate for an Oscar this year for films in a non-English language, is principally a coming-of-age drama about a child who feels guilt about being born a twin blamed for the death of his mother and who seeks redemption via a victory in the rocket contest.  The contest itself is a metaphor: since Laos was carpet-bombed in \u201969 and \u201970, the rockets would in effect lift the armaments back up to the sky.  Does the kid win the contest?  I won\u2019t tell, but get ready to see his rocket bring about a particular unplanned benediction for all the people of the village.<\/p>\n<p>Isn\u2019t it interesting how some people can become solid actors without going to a school to learn song, dance, and ability to convey dialogue?  Sitthiphon Disamoe was recruited as a street kid, a boy from a family of seven children whose parents could not afford to keep him.  He was turned out to the street, the sort of fellow who travelers to Mexico and third-world countries see selling chiclets and trinkets to tourists.  The characters speak Lao, with good English titles for our benefit.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Unrated.  96 minutes \u00a9 2013 by Harvey Karten, Member, New York Film Critics Online<\/p>\n<p>Acting \u2013
