    a great film for everybody, its very emotional!

    this film is one of the best i have seen so far, i really enjoyed watching it and it can be enjoyed by people of most ages. the acting was brilliant and the storyline was perfect. the emotion shown in the film was outstanding. it was a definite tear jerker. a wonderful performance from Yani Gellman, this film was the first film i had seen with him starring in it and i am confident in saying that i am now a great fan of his. i would gladly give praise to the producers and director of this film. the ending of the film was, I'm sad to say, the saddest part of the film. it ends in a way that i really wasn't expecting, but even with this shocking and very sad ending i still would recommend this film to everyone. just make sure you have a box of tissues handy!

    Superbly acted, touched the core of people's circumstances.

    The title, Children of My Heart, says it all. The story unfolds within the context of love. I liked the story and the way it brings out how people react to creative, loving ideas, and how they appreciate acknowledgment. I compare this movie to Good Will Hunting in the sense of life-changing kindnesses.

    a moving old fashioned film about French Canadian teacher.

    have not seen a film like this, or of this caliber, in years. can't believe it has no votes yet. no cliches, good acting. try it, please.young teacher tries to imbue knowledge, make a difference. definitely NOT the Waltons.

    Slow moving, bit of a downer

    The story behind the sickly title: an old French woman looks back on her time as a schoolteacher in a Canadian prairie town, and her love for a fifteen-year-old boy who is part Indian, and as such is the subject of racist remarks.

    This TV movie is touching in a weepy sort of way but it fails to be dramatic. However the prairie life and depression-era were evoked well. A bit too innocent for my liking though.

    The characters are all 2D and the script is very cheesy and cliché. Saying that, if you like Nicholas Sparks' novels, you will probably enjoy this. However, be prepared for weeping.

    what happens in the last 20 minutes?

    really was enjoying this film but a knock at the door and accidental turn off of my sky box and I missed the last 20 minutes! Could someone tell me the ending as it was so gripping and I feel I really need to know the outcome! Yes ,I did get very in to it! thank you.

    I thought the storyline was enjoyable-enthusiastic young teacher tames a wild and unruly class in a village school.She goes on to win their respect and love too.She is brave to try and stand up to a father but unfortunately tended to follow her heart not her head in regard to the 15 yr old young man in her class.I have an autistic son so that part also touched a nerve and I was in floods of tears when the knock came at the door!
