Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Every life has a story - but not every life has a happy ending. Many fall through the cracks, and this world can be a lonely place. Despite the sad theme, there is a powerful message. Every act of kindness, no matter how small, is an act of love. Reaching out takes courage and effort, but sometimes you never know how many closed hearts will open if you try - including your own. A beautifully crafted film, with measured, thoughtful acting. Some have felt this film a little slow, but nowadays, we are so used to the "Wham-Bam-Thank-You-Mam" pace, that we become desensitized to "quality". The pace of this movie is exactly right for the storyline and the study of the main character and his work. I highly recommend this movie - even the music is beautifully in sync with the theme. It should be required viewing in schools. Learning about compassion is never a wasted exercise - especially in today's 'sorry' world.
