Timely and Heartwarming

To have been filmed 2 years ago, it's amazing how timely the release is today. This movie touches on race, special needs and so much more. Everyone has a secret -- "Are you going to be a pharisee or are you going to #LoveYourNeighbor?"

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.

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.

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!
