"Mask" doesn't exploit Rocky Dennis' condition for cheap melodrama. It never lets you forget that despite his appearance, he was always just a regular kid with regular problems, and it achieves this with the aid of the incredibly human performances of Eric Stoltz and Cher as his rebellious mother.

I love this movie. If you don't at least tear up a little bit when watching this, you don't have a soul.

Mask is based on a true story, about a guy called Rocky Dennis, who has a severe facial deformity. It shows the difficult life he had to live, but how he never let it stand in his way. I loved this movie - it was really sad, but made you feel happy at the same time. It portrayed Rocky really well, in such a way that let people feel empathy towards him. Really great movie.

A moving story about the life of Rocky Dennis, a boy with a severe facial deformity. A shockingly honest look at the prejudice and trails he faced. Cher gives a powerful performance as his unconventional mother who dearly loves her son and wants only the best for him.
