칙칙한 분위기의 성장영화 할렘 포는 영화도 흥미진진하지만, 영화를 보는 내내 음악 때문에 즐겁다.
센스있는 배경음악이 영화의 분위기가 침체되지 않도록 균형을 잡아 주는 것 같았다.
성장한 '빌리 엘리어트' 제이미 벨의 연기를 보는 것도 즐겁다. 
놀라운 것은 할렘의 새엄마가 브래드피트랑 Meet Joe Black에 나왔던 여자란 사실. 그때는 청순하게 봤었던 것 같은데...
남자에게 있어서 '엄마'와 '여자'의 존재는 무엇일까. '엄마'의 상실을 '여자'로 극복(?)하며 성장통을 앓는 할렘 포의 모습이 어린아이에서 성인이 되어가는 모습으로 그려졌다. 그러면서 세상과도 화해한다. 폐쇄된 자기만의 세계에서 밖으로 나오게 된다.
오프닝이 왠지 Juno를 떠올리게도 한다.
