I love a film with heart and this film's hero has a huge and heroic heart. It is scary and it is terribly sad, but it also very moving. I cried. Like Big Fish, it does great service to the book on which it is based, and I think the ending is even more satisfying.

I was very impressed (i loved, actually) by the cinematography and score of this movie. The acting and dialogues are ok, but... there's something in the story or maybe the script that doesnt impress me, and makes the movie look average. Still. A very good one. Worthy to check out

Italian films are like poetry to my ears. Although I've seen abduction movies like this before, there's something about this film that's fresh. It's too bad I can't pinpoint exactly what it is. I think it's the relationship between the two boys that's poignant. I wish Hollywood films would make more film like this one. American mainstream movies nowadays are too focused on CGI and gore, that most--not all--of them forget that a touching story beats bloodshed and computers combined. The last scene of the movie was excellent. I wouldn't change a single thing about it.
