“…a heartfelt, emotionally delicate children’s movie about life and death and all the parts in between. Pegged to a lonesome little boy, a motherless child named Damian (Alex Etel, making a sensational film debut), Millions is about the secret world of children, in particular that miraculous, tragically brief interlude when the young imagination – not yet captive to crippling adult conventions like time, space and rational thought – takes boundless flight. Principally set in and around a new ticky-tacky housing development in an anonymous suburban wasteland, the story hinges on what happens – the good, the bad and the scary – after a sack stuffed with money literally lands on its 7-year-old hero.” (Manhola Dargis, The New York Times).
