"...A crisp, picturesque look and a believable manner....[Gibson] sustains a gravity..."
New York Times - Janet Maslin (08/25/1993)

"...Gibson makes a solid meat-and-potatoes directorial debut....Generous insights..."
Entertainment Weekly - Entertainment Weekly Staff (02/11/1994)

"...Ample heart....In addition to the charm of the two main characters, the movie manages to glorify education without being heavy-handed..."
Variety - Brian Lowry (08/30/1993)

"...The movie is Gibson's debut as a director, and shows him not only with a good visual sense, but with what is even rarer, the confidence to know what needs to be told and what can be left unsaid..."

Mel is fantastic!!

Created: 13/12/10
This is one of those feel good movies you won't get tired of watching. Mel Gibson is simply amazing. I really enjoyed watching this film as it has so many good messages throughout and felt very realistic. Very emotional situations. Once you warm up to Mel's true character you realize just how special he is. It's about changing lives and never giving up. The actor who played the main boy (Nick Stahl) was also amazing. Highly recommended!

An enjoyable and interesting movie. Filmed on an island in Maine that I have actually visited making it even more intriguing. The home belonged to my sister in law at the time. Great plot and great performances.

This is a wonderful movie.
It's shows that looks don't make the person and how the innocence of a child is a beautiful thing!
One of Mel's best!
