It was interesting to see Jodie Foster in her first and only directorial debut, but overall the film was a little bit dull and boring, very slow at times. I really wanted to create empathy and interest towadrs the characters, but I wasn't fully able to do it. Nice and modest effo...( read more)
A very good story with well developed characters and fine performances, especially from Jodie Foster and Dianne Wiest. Jodie Foster's direction is quite good. A perceptive and moving film. Great pace, believably done.
wanna see it again. how can you control the genius... great directorial debut for jodie foster. why don't you make another movie?
una peli resultona logra conmover y hace que el espectador se involucré en este duelo de sentimientos
this is a very good movie that keeps your attention the entire time... its about a little boy who is a geniuse like "REALLY SMART" and this lady pushes him to no end he finally snapped his cool... and becomes a regular kid... but it is a very good fun...
Hope they show this film again in HBO......heartwarming, and very unique story.
I find stories of such genius? quite fascinating. Finding the balance between mental stimulation and having a ?normal? childhood for a child prodigy is a struggle.
Well told movie, cast was great. It was interesting to watch a movie about a supper smart kid trying to fit in and his mom trying to give him the most normal life as she could... and the struggles both of them faced.
A story about a bright little boy,his single mom who does her best with him and a teacher who sees how bright he is and wants to help.Another good movie.
i like this film. I believe a lot of freaks or extra ordinary people out there can relate to the story. Sometimes natural gifts are more of a disadvantage than an advantage. Some truths are not necessarily the common man's reality. I saw this one twice. One on VHS (1992) and...( read more)
This was a great story. I love heart felt life is beautiful kind of stuff.
Drama that just doesn't pack a lot of punch. It starts out well but dies down that is quite untrue to life in a lot of cases.
I think Foster did a good job directing this. It's no masterpiece but it's good and I enjoyed it.
A thought provoking movie. Two sides of the effects of an extremely bright boy are shown - the side that wants acceptance and the othe side wants to excel. The two women in the story belong on one side each and neither manage to meet in the middle. A great movie.
I watched it many times.It's a very well-done insight of the life of an intelligent kid and how his intelligence affects him and those around him.The cast was great.Their acting was unforgettable.I loved it!
Jodie Foster is wonderful and always has been anything she touches seems to turn to gold. It is a MUST SEE if you haven't seen it over the years. Again another one that is little older but still a fantastic MOVIE!
This was a good film and i loved the mathemagician the most! He was only in it for a while :( . Jodie Foster put on a good performance in this film and i thought the idea of the story was good.
a little oring at times but jodie foster plays her role off nicly! worth a small look!
I loved this movie! Jodie Foster is so amazing. She deserves more credit for this film; she gave a fantastic performance and also directed! I love it!
A lovely little movie. Really well acted and directed by Foster, but the real star is the boy that plays her genius son. Overall a nice feelgood film.
I really enjoyed the topic of this movie, and the acting by the leading cast was fantastic.
It is a very sweet story that is written well enough to touch the heart.
Amazing movie. Some people I know find parts of it slow, but they are important to the plot.
