StunnaKrypto Self-important, over-dramatic, uninspired.

Platicsco Good story, Not enough for a whole film

Roy Hart If you're interested in the topic at hand, you should just watch it and judge yourself because the reviews have gone very biased by people that didn't even watch it and just hate (or love) the creator. I liked it, it was well written, narrated, and directed and it was about a topic that interests me.

Jenni Devyn Worth seeing just to witness how winsome it is.

selenegan I loved this movie. From the moment I watched the trailer I was hooked, interested from the start. I loved the plot of the young eleven year old genius, and how even though he's smart, ever so slightly awkward, he's still caring to others, loving to his mother and brother and always thinks of the future. Of course, we all knew that the mom was the one executing the plan to save Christina since the trailer, but when I found out he died, I just cried and cried. Henry was extremely strong, both for himself and his family. But the only time I saw him cry, crying out for his mom, was during the last moment of his life. Where he cried to see the sky, when he calls out his mother, as mommy. In his last dying moments, I saw him very much a young boy. It was definitely heart wrenching to see.However, when I found out the plan was to KILL Glenn, I wasn't very thrilled. So I was extremely relieved that they saved Christina from her horrific abusive stepfather without breaking the law, or taking a life. As much as I love this movie, the ending where she confronts Glenn in front of the shed at night, was terribly dumb. He could've killed her instead! Snatched the gun, point it at her, and bam, she would've been gone. It was too easy, that the abusive stepfather decides to kill himself instead of going to the police. He has done everything to cover up his secret already, so how does shutting up a chatty neighbour who always talks about leaves, make a difference? All in all, it was an interesting plot, with very well developed main characters. The side characters didn't really do much in the movie. Even though I hate to see violence in a movie in general, I felt the plot of Christina and her abuse was downplayed too much. She barely had bruises, nor showed much signs of abuse. At most she seemed like a moody and quiet girl in school.Lastly, I have to say that the relationship between both sons and the mom is extremely touching. I loved their interactions, their loving nagging. The parental role switching from Henry to mom, and sometimes even to Peter when Henry was gone, was fun to watch. Although there were minor parts done wrong, there were definitely a lot of major parts done right. Would definitely recommend to people to watch!

pedevannox I'm going against the norm here, but I loved this movie. Both of the brothers are portrayed by amazing child actors. Since I knew going in that it wasn't supposed to be a light-hearted family film, I wasn't surprised by the revelation of what's going on next door. Heartbreaking at times, lots of funny moments, definitely frustration regarding the situation, and I adored Sarah Silverman's character. Henry definitely knew everything about his mother, something that makes the second half of the movie that much better.

moetaher I was flipping through channels and found it on showtime, I got hooked from the first second.Amazing script, story and cast. Too many emotions were experienced during that 1h:44m.This movie deserves a lot more rec recognition

Gre da Vid Naomi Watts is a suburb actress and she delivers a good performance in this film as well. The story is carried, however, by Jaeden Lieberher who, as an extremely intelligent child, tries, but fails, while he is alive, to put away a next door neighbor who abuses his stepdaughter. Unfortunately, it takes his death for an effort to take place to put an end to this abuse. An interesting story well worth your time.
