What a wonderful film this was! I almost forgot that they still can be films starring children that are really good. I don't talk of 'Sixth Sense'. I mean films like 'Stand by Me'. There wasn't that much since then, he?
But here comes Timothy Huttons directorial debut and he made his job well. I hate to say it but this film is just cute. Evan Rachel Wood as Harriet is great. It's a good role, not the stereotype of a kid that we must see usually. And Kevin Bacon has one of his greatest roles ever. The story isn't very surprising but both actors let us forget that.
8/10 \ 3/4 \ 2 (1+ - 6-)
