I was totally surprised at how great this film.You could feel your paranoia rise as the film went on and as you gradually learned the details of the real situation.

if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.

I'll tell you about my feelings during watching this movie I'd like to say the great movie! I was watching with curious in my eyes and ears, the relationship between the old man Ted and Bobby captured me and I knew something is coming, that's remind me of the Stephen king's novel "Apt Pupil" in another great movie in 1998 (I'd recommend it).I really liked everything in this movie, the Cast, Picture, especially the Screenplay it was wonderful talking about time and memories that way! coming from an awesome writer!, these kind of movies full of life, you find it familiar closer to you! Enjoy! Thanks : )

Anthony Hopkins was so great, explained to Bobby about life, it's good & bad sides. He told Bobby how to choose what you need to do in the life. About right & wrong & learning how to deal with your choices. People make mistakes, you learn from them, except the lesson & move on with life. To forgive, love, remember those you have loved & lost in life. Live life the best that you can.Anton Yelchin was great also as a good boy needing someone to Care, and Love him. Someone to look up to & help him to learn how to live, make right decisions, to grow up to be the best that he can be. Growing up with only one parent that has to work to support the both of you, doesn't leave too much time together. Not much money to be able to do things that cost money, unless they work 2 jobs or more overtime. Sometimes trying to do more so you can give or do costly things with your child hurts them more by giving less time of yourself. It's important to be there for your child.This was a truly emotional, moving, & thought provoking story. I Loved it & cried at the ending for everyone's tragic events! As life really is a mix of events we travel thorough.

At least to me as I am not a fan of King's works, with very few exceptions. But Hearts in Atlantis is a pleasant tutorial story where, during a short period of time, a child gets more guidance from a stranger that from his family for his whole life. Moreover, human values and strong feelings are also nicely visible, making this movie a smooth, but unexpected run. Thanks to crime and mystical elements, the movie does not become slushy.But the real gems of the movie and Anthony Hopkins and Anton Yelchin, elderly mysterious drifter and a local 11-year-old boy, respectively. Their acting, either separately or together, is so fantastic that it outperforms some deficiencies in the plot. Recommendable as a family movie as well.

It's been many years now but every once in a while I go through this story/movie again, bringing up the same emotions and fondness of it. This movie is nothing spectacular, not a major hit by any standards, but personal experience for intelligent and thoughtful people. Behind it is some brilliant work of Mr. King (at his best, when not writing horror stories), which makes him (for me, at least) one of the best writers America ever had. And this story has been told through an excellent movie, with carefully picked up cast, to give probably their best, yet simple, performances. It is a very smooth movie, very well and sensibly directed. I'm highly recommending it but not to everyone - just to the ones who know how to appreciate a little masterpiece. To them it will be timeless. Everyone else – just forget it.
