Un endroit comme un autre

I was thoroughly impressed by this film. The story is beautifully developed, and convincingly told. The messages are very effective. It makes you feel them with your heart, without the need to use clichés and dramatic scenes. Less is more in this film, and it is truly special.

A film to remember and such a fine performance by James Norton and the little boy. A truly emotional journey and Pasolini's direction and screenplay are breathtaking.

I've always been an admirer of Norton!s work but this is him at his very best. Can't recommend it highly enough if you can brave the tears.

Sweet but sad film with a simple understated performance from James Norton, and Daniel Lamont as his son is lovely

Eileen O'Higgins also deserves a mention.

It's beautiful, real, touching and very well made. It delivers lots of feelings and easily moves you without any forced efforts. Story is emotional, nicely written and flows beautifully. The father-son relationship is so beautiful and performances by Norton and the little kid are superb. But it's simple and slow-paced so don't see it if you're not into this genre.

This will break your heart from the first scene onwards but stick with it and I promise that it will also: 1. Inspire you 2. Make you look at all sorts of things through another light, and most importantly 3. Leave you as a better person As a single father who has brought up two boys from the ages of seven and two, countless aspects of this film resonated with my own experiences, despite never having been anywhere close to the situation that transpires (except in my most troubled times and imagination). My sons are now twenty and seventeen and have become their own wonderful selves desoite my fumbling efforts along the way, but I truly wish I had seen this at the start of my own journey.

Brilliant writing, direction and most of all career defining performances, in particular from James Norton, but also barely credible from such a young actor as Daniel Lamont, as well as all the supporting cast.

If I could, I would have given this 20+ stars... choose your time to watch it, but never has 'must watch' more applied.
