Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

lenakasatova I want to write a review on the film by Menno Meyjes "Martian Child". This film was shot in 2013. The main actors are John Cusack, Bobby Coleman, Amanda Peet, Sophie Okedo, Joan Cusack. The Genre is drama, family, comedy. The main idea of this film is the theme of adopted children and their relationship with new parents, as well as the theme of love and understanding of their children. The film is very close to problems of a real life. Many families in our time are forced to take children from the orphanage, but not all cope with their upbringing and accept them as relatives. This film caused me exclusively positive emotions. The film is suitable for family viewing and will be of interest to almost everyone. This is a very kind film. The director tells us a story about a young writer David, who has dreamed of a child for many years, but his beloved woman died, and they never manage to have a child. The tragedy of the loss of love pushes David to take a child from the orphanage. When he comes to an orphanage, he chooses an unusual child, a strange, problematic child. The boy's name is Dennis and he does not go out into the light sitting in a cardboard box during the day, he tells everyone that he is from Mars and sunlight can kill him. David takes responsibility to cope with the psychological problems of the boy and adopts him. He sees in him a native soul, the boy was once very badly injured, his soul hurts like the soul of the protagonist, which was injured by a huge loss. No one understands him, even his own sister. They do not understand why he needs such a burden and responsibility. Schools do not want such a child. Teachers assure that the child is not able to communicate with other children and steals their things. But David struggles to get inside Dennis's inner world and help him. In my opinion, the film is very exciting. It is filled with funny moments and moments, when you want to cry from happiness. Music corresponds to the content. The play of actors is great. There is the moment where the boy performs the dance with the music, this moment also causes only positive emotions. I recommend everyone to watch this movie. You can get together with the whole family and have a good time watching a wonderful soul movie. I want to review this movie again and again.

alina-stepanenko There is something in this movie that makes me rewatch this film. The main role is played by the inimitable John Cusack. In this film, we need to listen to him very carefully. He says wise things to which we should not only listen to it, but also hear. The film is intended for family viewing, although the genre is listed as a drama, but nothing particularly dramatic in it. Although sometimes touching scenes make me shed a tear. I liked the film precisely with its meaning and touchingness. I watched it in one breath. And even those that made me think about how I would behave in place of the main character. Could I raise a foster child? In general, the film with meaning. It raises the topic of fathers and children, foster children and adoptive parents. I advise you to watch this film without exception.

gorelova "Martian Child" is an inspiring, brilliant, tender, touching and emotional movie that will reach you to the deepest part of your heart. The movie contains a lot of drama and also a little bit of comedy. The plot is very interesting and thought provoking. This film is about a widowed writer David adopting a very difficult child whose name's Dennis. The child insists that he is from Mars, and is reluctant to have human contact. They try to find common interests and spend time together. At first, it was very hard because Dennis is unusual child; he is absolutely different from other boys. He wears dark sunglasses because he is afraid of the sun, he hides in the box because he is afraid of people. After some time when they start to live together Dennis comes out of his box to become 'normal'. Thanks to David Dennis starts enjoying his life, he is happy now. I think he behaved like a Martian child because it was easier for him to close from people. He hadn't parents, friends, nobody to help him, to show how the world is beautiful. He was a lonely child and he preferred to live in his own world. But everything has changed with the help of David. I liked this movie very much. It's so emotional and kind.

kirichenko_elena First of all, I liked the soundtrack Guster - "Satellite", playing during the Martian dance of David and Dennis. Whatever they say about the excessive simplicity of the film, it touches on the eternal theme of fathers and children, and the problem of misunderstanding of society. They have to make a difficult choice: to become like everyone else or to keep their own I, while losing the people's disposition. As a result, the father and son find the right decision for themselves, love subordinates everything in the world, even the disobedient little Martian. I don't think that adults will discover here something new for themselves, but for children it will be incredibly boring. And this is far from fiction. On the contrary, the film is incredibly realistic, but it will definitely leave a mark on your soul. I liked the film. All these moments of life of the main characters are so exciting. Probably because they play very well. In the film, they show real love, real grief, and real life. This picture will be remembered for a long time.
