A heartwarming movie about acceptance

This movie had a nice balance of humor and serious content. The greatest part of the movie is the conversations around judgement and acceptance. Even though this was set in 1949, some of the issues discussed in this movie still exist today. It makes you take a step back and recognize your own prejudices. B-Flat was great as a narrator--he didn't cover up any of his thoughts or what he was feeling. I will say, it did start off a little slow, but that didn't make the movie any less valuable. When I watched the movie a second time, I enjoyed it so much more! Wait until you find out about Miss Gertrude...the suspense!

Timely Story

The movie differs quite a bit on some level from the stage play, but it is mostly true to the original stage version. This is a story that was written 30 years ago, takes place even longer ago, and yet somehow it is absolutely timely today. This movie is worth the watch. You'll laugh and cry... and you might learn something while you do that. It's a love letter to a diverse world on so many levels and yet Pamela Parker has managed to tell the tale with loads of humor sparked with love. If the play is in production near you, by all means go see that as well. On stage, it's even more personal and more touching. Enjoy the little jewel of an indie movie. There's so much to love about it.

Touching film that felt real.

This story was really interesting and was set in 1949 but still very much reverberates today. The acting was very good, the writing spot on and the directing was excellent. The small town atmosphere permeates the movie and the setting was dead on. People's prejudices and petty behavior were on display. Gradually the movie goes from sweetness to hatred back to love. I really enjoyed this and it is a lesson for us all. The best movie I saw at the St. Louis International Film Festival last November.

Affecting story well-told

Set in the 1949 south, this film captures the foibles, prejudices, and complicated relationships that have long marked this region. It also captures one of the realities of small town life - you know your neighbors so well that you're able to weigh what you like about them against what you don't like. Sometimes you just come to accept the bad with the good and you realize that's ok. The film is both entertaining and thought-provoking, a fitting combination during these trying times.

A movie for today..a movie about love and acceptance

This movie is about loving and accepting our neighbor, about being that good Samaritan, about friendship through trials and tribulations. A powerful message delivered through the eyes of a young, autistic man who expresses his simple thoughts that make you stop and examine your own thoughts and opinions. A movie for the entire family that will prompt ongoing conversation about the times we live in.
