Where to begin reviewing this mess of a film? I guess it's the writing It's just about the most cliche-ridden movie I've seen in a long time. You can guess what's going to happen every step of the way.
Then there's the acting. Absolutely atrocious. If you're going to make a film that focuses around children, at least hire kids that can act. Not a single kid in this movie can act. (Hey kids, quit while you're ahead. You're not going to make a career out of acting.) And all the dialogue sounds like it was written by an adult, for an adult.
Then there's the horrible music track. It sounds like they found some generic background music and plunked it down. It's happy and bouncy almost throughout the movie. Music should enhance a movie, not detract from it.
Overall, this film is a complete waste of time. I was tempted to finish it to see if it got any better. But 45 minutes of my day wasted was more than enough.
This film confirmed my suspicions. Not only was Brooke Shields a lame child actor, she's equally bad as an adult. Yikes!

Brooke Shields is great and daughter was very good! You didn't feel sorry for Daisy as much as rooted for her wished you could be more like her. A movie that made me cry but I am glad I found it. Friendship and connections are SO important.
Unexpected, and compelling, this film is full of heart. Bravo to Brooke Shields and especially to Sterling Jerins, whose work is always on point and sublime .

As I grow older, and without a family of my own, I can live vicariously through the imagination of others, and see what I would want in my own child. The qualities seen in Daisy is how I dream a child should be allowed to BE: honest, forthright, able to speak from the heart. I absolutely agree with the storyteller, and love this movie so much. Thank you all for a beautiful story.
According to the resymee and reviews id read. its a story about a little girl, and daisy winters is her name, she lives with her mum, and hates her mums sister, because she is her aunt. daisy has a very grown up picture of the world and everything else, her wishes are few but wholeheartedly sincere, and as the film asses by we learn to know why.she has a few friends at school, but she seem like an overly lonely child, that cares and breaths for her mothers care and friendship. in many ways daisy is a very grown up girl in a very grown up world, and this world becomes , all of a sudden extremely threatening , one day. to find out why,you better watch the film, because its a beautiful film with a beautiful sole and spirit, it has a great score, the cast is at times marvellous and the hopes and wishes , makes you feel so much sympathy and empathy for this girl
this is a so near perfect film with twists and turns you may not expect at all from an 11 year old girl, so why do i give it a nine'r. well the director hasnt been able to develop the characters and the story good enough, and the lack of time seems to be one reason for that.cause time is money in the filmbusiness, and the lack of repetitive takes are unveiled from time to time, so the editors total of material to clip and glue together are at times a bit primitive and artifiscial, believe me its not a huge error, just a feinsmæckers view.
the grumpy old man felt the whole spectre of emotions when viewing this flick, its a heartbreaker at many levels, and definately a winner that shouldve had a chapter on wikipedia, but everytime ive tried to add something there it has been cronically been deleted as nonsense. i can not recommend this high enough. its for all ages and all genders
