ScreenHub:

A story where a gutsy pre-teen holds his own in a world of adult lawbreaking is not going to be plausible on any realistic level, which is where the fantasy angle comes in. Eli’s older brother Gus (Lee Tiger Halley), who hasn’t spoken in years, communicates by writing on air and can possibly see the future. Other fantastic elements come to the fore as the story progresses, though at times it’s hard to be sure how seriously we’re meant to be taking things.

But even at its most serious, this is always a fantasy. Crime here works largely as a metaphor for the adult world, not something that involves doing real criminal acts – otherwise Lyle’s return to drug dealing would feature him dealing drugs – and the adult world has plenty of caring characters engaged with Eli’s life.
