Top Critics' Reviews
Rotten: Performed to the hilt by Flanery and filmed with conviction by Victor Salva, the movie is finally too solemn to survive its pushy musical strings.
Customer Reviews
Very powerful
I didn't buy this from iTunes, but I have seen this movie more than a few times and it is a very powerful movie exposing how people are so quick to judge others just on their looks. This is probably one of the best movies I've ever seen. I highly recomend that every one purchases or at the very least watch this very inspirational movie.
Special, a must see
A story about coping with the fears, intolerance, and explotation of a child who is different on many levels from others. This movie's technical flaws are minor, and easily forgotten as you get lost in the story. I became attached to the main character ("Powder"), since I could relate to many of the experiences, being somewhat different myself. The story line is excellent, as is the performances of even the most minor of characters.
Great Film
This is a movie of emotional depth and character. It illustrates the fear that people experience as a result of people being different. Great movie. Check it out.
