Kisses is a heartwarming and soul-stirring movie that hails from the beautiful country of Ireland. It is a story of two young kids who run away from their homes in Dublin in search of adventure and freedom. The movie is directed by Lance Daly and stars Kelly O'Neill as Kylie and Shane Curry as Dylan - both of whom deliver convincing and genuine performances.

The movie begins with Kylie - a girl who is neglected and abused by her family - living in a small and dingy housing complex in a Dublin neighborhood. She is the eldest of three siblings and is constantly berated and mistreated by her mother's boyfriend. On the other hand, Dylan is a boy who lives with his grandmother and aspires to become a rock star someday. Both of them often find solace in each other's company and share a common dream of running away from Dublin to explore the world beyond.

One fine day, Kylie and Dylan decide to live out their dream and flee their homes without any particular destination in mind. The first half of the movie is shot in black and white, which adds to the feel of the movie and the struggles these kids face. The black and white world Kylie and Dylan inhabit contrasts sharply and unpleasantly with the vibrant and colorful world outside.

As they embark on their journey, they are exposed to a new world outside of their comfort zone. They encounter various colorful characters like a friendly truck driver, a thief on the run, and an older couple who are going through a rough patch. Through their encounters, Kylie and Dylan learn about the ups and downs of life, love and the importance of family.

The movie takes the viewers on an adventure of a lifetime as Kylie and Dylan explore the countryside and the city; from sleeping under the stars, to sneaking into an amusement park and avoiding the police. They experience the highs and lows of adventure, and despite their tough and often dangerous situations, they never lose sight of their common dream.

As they travel further and face more challenges, the two kids build a bond that is both heart-warming and endearing. Having no one else to rely on, they trust and support each other through thick and thin.

The second half of the movie is a stark contrast to the first half in terms of cinematography. The visuals turn into a colorful and vibrant world as they arrive in the city with big flashy lights and colors all around. The audience is now treated to a lively and upbeat atmosphere, which is a reflection of how Kylie and Dylan's lives have changed.

Kisses by no means is an action-packed thriller or a blockbuster movie. Instead, the movie depicts a heartwarming story of two kids struggling through life, discovering themselves, and their place in the world. It portrays the harsher realities of life, such as poverty and social inequality, whilst keeping the story uplifting and optimistic.

Director Lance Daly has masterfully portrayed the wonders of a child's world and set it against the backdrop of a harsh and unpredictable reality. The movie has a beautiful score, which compliments the scenes, and the pacing of the movie never feels slow or sluggish.

In conclusion, Kisses is a beautiful movie that is both heart-warming and endearing. It is an inspiring tale of two young kids who overcome their fears and struggle in life by relying on each other. The movie is a must-watch for everyone who loves innocent and magical stories that are both heart-warming and inspiring.

Kisses is a 2010 drama with a runtime of 1 hour and 12 minutes. It has received mostly positive reviews from critics and viewers, who have given it an IMDb score of 7.2 and a MetaScore of 68.
