Great story, superb acting, haunting visuals
By ThomasKus (147 reviews) from Gloucester , 29 Dec 2003[Highly rated reviewer]
This story of a friendship that crosses gender, age and social boundaries is captivating right fom the start. It certainly has been my discovery of the year. It's so good that when I first saw it on FilmFour I switched over immediately to watch it again on FilmFour+1.
Mischa Barton gives one of the best child performances ever and Sam Rockwell is also outstanding.
What makes this film so different, however, are the imaginative style and the multilayered characters, the haunting images that will stay with you for a long time and the superb ending.
Unfortunately there are no worthwhile extras on the DVD but hey, it's a great film...
My advice: Watch it and watch it again!- Was this review helpful to you?

slightly dodgy paedo undertones
By PAN (23 reviews) from London , 10 Sep 2011Sam Rockwell good actor. It was a bit of a look at yourself film. You know, you watch it thinking the whole time who am i and what motivates me, who do i identify with etc. Children are aliens and adults are f***ed up.- Was this review helpful to you?

A sweet film with loveable characters
By joeyo (10 reviews) from Cheltenham , 17 Aug 2011Despite being one of those films where not much really happens, certainly not in the sense of action or drama, it was surprisingly enjoyable. The characters were lovable, the acting was good and the story-line was different to anything I had seen before. Probably not for everyone, but for me it was a hit. I would definitely watch this one again.- Was this review helpful to you?

Clichés galore!
By sailonby (110 reviews) from Exeter , 02 Jun 2011I really wouldn't bother. The film is stuffed with clichés and is cutesy American. The cutting is clumsy in places, too. But, above all, it's just cheesey.- Was this review helpful to you?

Lawn Dogs
By a customer , 28 Apr 2011I think this is one of those under-rated movies of our time. The story line is good and with the acting. I think Mischa Burton stole the show on this one. A good punt.- Was this review helpful to you?
