Critic Reviews
-
Dave Kehr, Chicago Reader
The film's undeniable impact comes from Bogdanovich's willingness to go too far with practically every emotional moment, while maintaining a distant, classical visual style that gives the film a surface dignity and reserve.
-
Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
A wonderful movie, a story of high spirits and hope and courage.
-
Vincent Canby, New York Times
One of those movies that try so hard to get their supposedly universal message across that they are likely to put your teeth on edge more often than they bring one little, lonely teardrop to the eye.
-
Emanuel Levy, EmanuelLevy.Com
Exremely well acted family melodrama about a disfigured boy that in the hands of another director could have been a schmaltzy TV Movie of the Week
-
Nell Minow, Common Sense Media
Complex, moving story most appropriate for teens.
