Camera

I was privileged to see Camera on the big screen. It was a beautiful experience. I was immediately drawn into the story and the young boys' plight through his facial expressions. His eyes told volumes. The young actor did an amazing & believable job of portraying his character. I hope to see him in future films. Beau Bridges did an amazing job as well & it was great seeing him as I have enjoyed his past body of work. The actor who played the boys's mother was exceptional as was all the supporting cast. Well done!

A great inspiring story, well told.

It's available on Prime so I will be watching it again!

Offered a decent film rating here - am not part of film group, is honest review.

I enjoyed this film when beforehand, didnt think I would. There is plenty of script to follow but not my usual type of film where main character has minimal lines (Offering no spoilers) I enjoyed film so did not prove to be an issue!

Characters - good performances all 7 out 10s minimal. Young lad steals the show for obvious reasons, he was the main character..

Storyline / script / plot - ok, good, not memorable but good for the moment.

In truth was able to get lost in the film - even to feel emotionally attached at times.

Is a good film. Film is nothing spectacular like, but for me, one of the better films have seen in months.

In this well-crafted film by Jay Silverman, a young mute boy, (Oscar), is mentored in the fine art of capturing a good photograph by an older Vietnam veteran played by Beau Bridges. After much practice and a multitude of mistakes, young Oscar begins to see the true soul of his small seaside town through a new lens. No pun intended!

Jay's casting has the feel of a European film, where minor as well as lead roles appear as average people we see in our daily lives. Enough already, of Hollywood films where the men look like Tom Cruise and the women like Julia Roberts, and they live in impossibly expensive homes for their character's economic station.

I highly recommend this heartwarming film with a soul-searching ending.

I just watched Camera. I'm a photographer, almost an old fart, so I worked and still work a lot with film.

It's one of the greatest movies I ever watched. It's not just a beautiful movie with great actors, direction and plot, but also photography, the philosophy behind it and the meaning of it are perfectly described.

Jay Silverman made a gem and I'm glad I found it.

As a photographer fighting everyday to make people understand a photograph is much more than a phone snapshot I want to say a big thank you to Silverman for making this movie and communicating in such a beautiful way what photography really is. He made my life easier!

Nothing questionable here, no nudity or any foul language, just a wonderful story of a young boy (Miguel Gabriel) who is Oscar who has an "eye" for photography. He is mute from a hospital accident at birth but other than that he can communicate quite well especially with his eyes. It takes a great talent to portray emotion with just your eyes and no sounds and he does it like it was truly how he is in real life. He must deal with new surroundings in this picturesque fishing village with a plethora of unique characters all around him for his "canvas" . He must deal with some bullies, and one bad uncle who is also a drug dealer. After a close call with the bullies, Oscar hides in an old fix it shop run by Beau Bridges and soon the magic begins as Bridges teaches the young boy all about photography and how to develop it and enlarge it. What happens next is truly amazing as this young mute causes the whole town to understand themselves in a new and unique way as well as bring everyone together after the town suffers a financial loss. Get some tissue and be prepared for a wonderful family story for everyone especially kids and those who love photography. Enjoy!'
