I enjoyed Attraction for showing me that teens in China are pretty much the same as in the US. This student made film made me giggle.

A boy tries to attract a girl, who he assumes is deaf. This high school student film gives us a glimpse into the life of a student in China. The camera work is quite good; it primarily uses shots of the two kids together or separately, with some close-ups of the Rubik's cube or the boy's phone tossed in. The background music is rather inconsequential. The film is entirely non-narrative, as the boy makes a presumption that the girl is deaf, and they write notes back and forth. Then, he gets a message that the "deaf girl" has left and, well, story over.

The film's message is "don't presume you know more about someone than you do. "I give Attraction 3.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 12 to 18, plus adults. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
