Why the hell this film only has a 7.4 rating???? I know it's only my opinion but it is one of the best films I have ever seen and I've seen a lot!!
And how come it didn't have more nominations and/or didn't win a oscar? Is this one of those movies that aren't recognzided on its time?
Maybe I'm just crazy or stupid and missed something that was a downfall...
This film is far better then typical hollywood romantic oscar movies...but it's
sad that this film is so much underrated..
I know. I thought that it was excellent. Both my mother and grandmother worked with kids with special needs (ranging from mental & intellectual disabilities to ADHD and various behavior problems so I already had some understanding of the film's material and I think that the made it all the more powerful for me.
I mostly liked how the film showed that even those without disabilities can be crippled and struggling through some pretty heavy stuff. This movie taught care and compassion. someone else on this board was discussing how love and the child's perception of affection from caregivers is more important than the physical/material possesses that you can provide. On Rizzoli & Isles, Maura says that she had the most amazing opportunities growing up but she did not feel like she was wanted and that is a scary thing.
I guess that people just fail to see the beauty in films like these. Some people like "deep" films that delve into the human condition and really resonate and others would rather see Twilight.
The existence of life is a highly overrated phenomenon.
