    Quest of a perfect Cutie......

    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.....

    Charming tale but with some artificiality

    An American family drama; A story about a young girl who travels across America to understand more about her mother's past. This is a film to be regarded for excellent individual performances and much less for the plot, which is not very plausible, but there is flair and style in the way it is told. The actress playing the precocious child captures the conflict within her, one who feels responsible for her autistic mother more than she might be emotionally equipped to process and handle. But it is the portrayal of Mama, the mother, where the issue lies. Lacking agency, she does not, as a character, serve the plot, confining her to the fringes. The result feels false and convenient for the story. It is a family film with a good heart nonetheless and avoids being mawkish or cloying, but the film ends conveniently with a neat line under the issues the young girl would face.

    Good movie

    This was really moving and an excellent movie. The characters are very believable and suited themselves well. The story of the girl and her search for her family history is truly touching, and the girl especially is, in my opinion, a good example of excellent acting and character. Overall, I think I would recommend this movie to anyone.

    A real gem of a movie, young girl seeks to figure out her family story.

    My wife and I watched this movie in March 2018 at home on DVD from our public library, I repeated the viewing in January 2020. Yes, it is a real gem of a movie.

    We find out the girl is 12, she lives in Reno with her mother and an agoraphobic woman in the adjacent apartment. How? Well when the girl was only 7 days old and the mother clearly distraught, the woman next door punched out a couple of panels that enabled them to have a door between the two living spaces. The mother, whose named seemed to be So B. It, was severely disabled, only spoke a few words, and certain events would make her get out of control. Clearly not able to be an adequate mother. How did all this come about? That in fact is the heart of the movie.

    Heidi is the 12-yr-old girl, played by Talitha Bateman. She is very bright and capable and as she has become aware of her unusual situation in life started to ask questions about where she came from. Then the break comes when they find a old canister of exposed but undeveloped 35mm color film. The photos lead her to a small community in upstate New York and a home for disabled adults.

    All the actors are good but the impact of movie depends on young Talitha Bateman and she carries it very well. Unusually well. This is a good movie of a good, heartwarming story.
