what an impossible journey of life of this little girl. This girl is hardly adolescent but her mental strength and future reading ability is undoubtedly above question. The way she took the path for the search of her past is really special. Not much movie now a days provides this type of agenda relating the emotional search operation by a little girl rather they are devoid of these small corners of mind. This is where this movie stands a bit different. It is a pure family drama , a bit separated from the current tradition by its soft sweet steps of life.
I am very much impressed with the girl..who is the main character of the film. she is so pretty and the character suited her so well that it was impossible to separate her from it. She was spontaneous , Fluent and very much clever to create a really enjoyable drama of her so called little journeys. She was impressive in roads, in buses and trains, in unknown areas, with peoples whom she is not familiar with. But she always finds a way to be in the right direction of her destination. She has such a strong will that she cannot be detached from the path.
So be the part of it...Stays till the end to see what happens to her. Is she able to find out what she was looking for??? Is she able to get the answers of her questions???..Wait and see where she takes you. Don't be afraid..She can do no wrong.....

Movie is a story about a girl trying to find her self, with lots of questions and not a lot of answers. I don't know if it was the production that made the movie the way it is for editing but it's very long drawn out very hard to keep attention and follow the storyline.
Well, it had potential, but only for those who need a pollyannish, feel good, everything turns out all right, comforting story to make their day. Real world, unfortunately needs a bit of help. Anyway, well acted although not much required. Major problems for those who are not intimate with the story is our young heroine has the God given ability to cheat at slot machines; mysteriously count beans in a jar along with other similar mysterious "gifts" that might have made a better story if used for humanity, etc. Also sex by institutionalized severe/profound disabled patients in a care facility in our state would have serious repercussions, but in this story is swept under the rug. Awkward editing; poor audio control; at times poor enunciation; combined with cost saving no subtitles made it difficult to follow what is important to the story - the dialogue.
This is an enjoyable movie. An easy watch. It is not profound or life changing and you'll likely forget about in a couple of months, but if you're looking to pass some time on a Sunday afternoon, it'll do.
This film has good intentions, but when all is said and done, it is little more than a sentimental tear-jerker. Heidi lives in an apartment with her mentally disabled mother and her next-door neighbor Bernadette. The apartment is actually Bernadette's, with her mother's apartment easily accessed through a removed closet panel.
Odd? Quite. Especially since Bernadette has no idea who pays for Heidi's mother's apartment. She met her right after she gave birth to Heidi, and no one ever came over to ask if she had seen Heidi's mother. Still with me here? Yes, Bernadette just decides to care for Heidi and her mother, instead of calling in social services or anyone else.
Apparently, she pays for all their food and clothes and other stuff, but sends 12-year-old Heidi, dressed to look like an adult, off to a slot machine place where she always wins lots of quarters. No joke. Bernadette also homeschools Heidi, so there was never a need for a birth certificate or any other form of identification. She obviously doesn't want Heidi to be taken away from her by anyone.
Bernadette has agoraphobia, you see, and really emotionally needs Heidi and her mother. Problem is Heidi is at an age where she wants to know who her father is, why her mother has no relatives, and doesn't even have a real name. (Bernadette calls her "Precious".) So, after looking at photos in her mother's apartment for the very first time in 12 years, off Heidi runs away to the east coast to find answers.
It's a long bus trip from Reno, Nevada, but Heidi gets to where she is going, and soon finds answers to all her questions. It's really not much of a story and not particularly believable, both Heidi's family story and the movie's story. Yet, from reading reviews, it appears to be a story some viewers found very touching. If you are the type of viewer who has a box of tissues nearby, do give the film a try.
