White Frog

I watched this with my niece & we both loved it! Had tears in my eyes. Beautifully acted by the talented cast! I have loved Harry Shum Jr in everything that he's in!

Great build up to the end. I have wanted to watch this for years & finally got the chance. So worth my wait.

A different take on the Autistic kid coming-of-age story. It certainly is set-up a bit differently and it goes into unusual directions, and most of the actors did really good, but I feel that the story was a bit betrayed towards its conclusion with the parents' overblown reaction and even Nick's and then his sudden courage to face a big audience and his parents' sudden change of heart afterwards. It's all too cliche Hollywood tie-in ending and even the dialogue sounds fake and message-oriented. Everybody makes up and embraces the new revelations. But despite all that I'm gonna rate it higher because I do believe it's an underseen hidden gem.

6.9 of 10. Classic indies have solid, sometimes great, stories that are carried out with a very low budget, but with a couple half-stars to keep it from complete obscurity and extended periods with actors who can't handle their characters. In this case, it's as if it was filmed, directed, and acted by an after-school special crew. Fortunately, there's a great story to integrate it all and seem natural.

Despite a rough, choppy start with abbreviated plot development, the film is highly watchable by half-way through, mixing humor and drama well. Only a few inconsistent performances and story elements to keep it from keeping you totally immersed.

"White Frog" really surprised me as I watched it. Why? Well, because the movie had a fairly nice story, but what really impressed me was the acting in the movie.

The story is about a young boy named Nick, who has Asperger's syndrome, whose older brother dies in a tragic accident. Not fitting into the world around him, Nick struggles to get closer to the world that his older brother lived in.

There are some really nice moments to the movie, which were nicely portrayed and executed on the screen. But the great performances from the actors and actresses really helped bring this movie to life.

I can't really claim to be familiar with the acting talent of Booboo Stewart, but he really carried this movie so nicely. But it wasn't him alone, everyone in the movie were doing great jobs. And it was also particularly nice to see Joan Chen in a movie such as this.

If you enjoy drama movies that are carried by a proper and solid story, then you definitely should check out "White Frog". And this movie easily earns a 7 out of 10 stars rating from me, no doubt about it.

This is such a well told story....the plot is complicated, yet it is simply told. I am not ashamed to say that the tears started soon after the movie begun. Of course they remained until the end. All the performances were simple & simply good. Even the smaller roles were played to perfection. I loved this movie.
