Great narrative and imaginative, film makes you feel good!, 20 August 1999
9/10

Who will ever forget Mrs. Posey after have seeing this film?

Those of YOU who still have dreams and are in the mood for a weird film with "Gilbert Grape" characters have to see this one. I saw the film in September 1997 on the Hamburg Film festival at the Abaton. There was an overwhelming applause from the so called "cool" Hamburg audience for this good entertainment.
