Something Alive for Poor Kal (1990)

The Radar read

A quieter title still finding its audience, though the rating rests on a thin sample, so treat it as provisional.

Synopsis

Every Christmas Kal, a handicapped and bedbound boy, wants something "alive", but never gets it. But soon it's Christmas again and Lame-Kals landlord's cat is going to have kittens. The landlord's two daughters, Annastina and Lillstumpan, now intend to cheer Kal by giving him something alive...

Radar blends quality, momentum and freshness into one “what to watch now” number — so a great older film can sit lower than a rising new release. The Quality signal above is the time-neutral rating, which is why an acclaimed classic keeps a high quality score even when its Radar number is lower. Radar outputs are editorial algorithmic recommendations, not objective facts, and may change as signals update. A Radar score is not the same as a TMDB, IMDb or critic rating.
