It's very hard to sum up this film as it's so unusual. If you like Holywood blockbusters then this is not the film for you. It is very slow, but so beautifully shot, and well acted that you are totally engrossed by it's magic, charm and quirkiness. A young boy finds a guitar, and sings and plays the most beautiful song ever written. Everyone who hears it is deeply moved and it brings happiness and peace to everyone. There are subtle comedic scenes all the way through, and the landscape of New Mexico is stunningly shot in all it's raw, stark beauty.

Very quirky, very charming film where everything works. Wonderful writing, performances, and tone. Every shot is creatively composed for maximum effect like a Wes Anderson film (whose tone is similar but this is much more heartfelt). I would compare it most to "Napoleon Dynamite" in its quirkiness but, once again, with much more heart. Can't believe this isn't a higher-rated better known film appropriate for all. Bravo!

It may well be one of the loveliest films I've watched in a long time, and yet I have no idea what it is about. I mean I know it's about a little boy who writes a song that we never hear but which makes the whole world happy but, I have no idea what it's about. It's kind of like David Lynch meets Disney. The direction and pace is superb, the photography is stunning, the acting is immense for what it is, and I've never seen a 7 year old boy hold an entire movie from beginning to end. This is an amazing watch.

I was lucky enough to see this a short time ago in Silver City, NM where it was filmed. The person who made the film and all the kids from it were there for discussion/ Q&A afterwards. When the movie began all I could think was boring. Very soon after that I was pleasantly surprised. It turned into a very enjoyable, entertaining and funny movie. The kids were great. I highly recommend this gem.

I got tricked into watching this movie by these reviews. Terrible boring movie with terrible acting.

This movie hit all the bases of emotion for the entire sold out audience at the Prescott Film Festival. Well worth seeing and spreading the word. The director and writer, Cameron Nugent did a superb job in capturing the subtleties of the main characters as well as the story line. The excellent script was written with humor throughout. The director of Photography, John Garrett, captured the bleakness of the landscape but also captured the warmth of the family and townspeople. JK Simmons as well as Julian as the "boy called Sailboat" and his parents should get a nod for their acting abilities. A film Well Done...

I do not understand why ppl are enthralled with this weird thing... I was not enthused by the description, found it even less inviting watching it... honestly confused by why the ppl I watched it with were so endeared. 10/10 would never watch again. Wish I hadn't been forced to sit through it the first time.

It only happens not so often that you stumble upon a movie, book, song or any other (still obviously hidden?) gem so beautiful and fulfilling, still hidden and unknown that takes you and carries you to the sky of joy, happiness and positive emotions... We carry all what we need with us. A bedtime lifetime story. Movie full of beautiful photos and music, amazing characters, a fantasy that makes you feel better.. A true must see

A sweet experience with well measured performances. A little slow in places so might not be for everyone but the little leads do give the film extra depth

Got to the end but still didn't get it. Don't understand the rave reviews. Scenery - desert, acting - what acting.

Song is the key to the film, broadcast to the world reminiscent of "Oh brother where art thou" - this Film has the same crazy style.

I loved this movie! It's full of thought and inspiration on life from a child's perspective.

You can only imagine back to when you were a child and how things around you and the things you do affect the world and people around you.

I won't give away the story, suffice to say that if you want to experience what it's like to be a child again, check this out!

Boring film. I wanted to like it and I certainly tried. However it's a poorly shot and dreary film. Pretty nonsensical. How people have been conned into giving it rave reviews because its been billed as s feel good movie is beyond me.

Loved everything about the movie, actual meaning of life, magical spell of sailboats guitar song , hope to meet his grandma, everything in movie was so simple but yet mesmerising. Grigoriyan brother's version of row row your boat actually melted my heart. Felt like everything else should stop n just enjoy the life like how people came just to listen Sailboat sing!!

This was a truly beautiful movie, with a story that was uplifting, moving and funny. Great acting; the boy who played Sailboat was a delight; and all the children were so believable in their roles that it seemed like the class, the school and the soccer teams really existed. Full marks to the Director, the photographer, and all involved, for a very authentic film. The music was amazing; I was lucky enough to see the film while the Grigoryan brothers, who did the musical score played it live, in a theatre in Adelaide. A film really worth seeing by young and old.

What a gorgeous, and charming movie. Beautifully filmed too - the warm colour schemes enhance this lovely little tale.

A movie that truly takes you away from hectic life and helps you remember the innocence of simplicity. Epic. A must see.

Maybe not for everyone but this movie was fantastic I thought. I wasn't expecting to laugh so much. Really touching and heartwarming story with a unique mix of quirky characters. The star, Sailboat was acted really well.

The sweetest, strangest little tale. Such profound and small, lovely takeaways. Quirky and simple and heartwarming. Great way to enjoy 90 minutes of your day.

There are some films are just art, and this is one of them. Beautifully filmed and wonderful story - It doesnt try to be something other than what it is - Just something with heart.

If the Cohen Brothers made a kids film... with an Australian bent, set it in Mexico and filled every frame with magic. You'd find A Boy Called Sailboat. Cameron Nugent has created an incredibly unique, special and instantly timeless classic.

Excellent cinematography best experienced on a large screen. With many subtle and not so subtle moments, this is an enjoyable movie. The Theory of Relativity is used to comical effect if you listen for it. Put a smile on your face - watch this movie.

My wife and I loved this movie (State Cinema Hobart with Grigoryan Brothers live on stage): quirky, light mood with depth, funny, moving. I probably missed many of the oblique references and still felt fully included. Loved the American-Mexican-Australian mix and that J. K. Simmons agreed to be involved. Each actor radiated commitment in his/her role. Thanks to all involved.

Just a lovely relaxing movie that with great acting from all characters made this film so uplifting. I was taken in by this story that had so much depth and some humour to. Excellent, I smiled all the way through even though it moved me .
