  • An original....Elijah Wood, in particular, holds the screen -- he has a beautifully inquisitive face, with eyes like liquid marbles...

    Rated - 5 stars

    Powered by imagination

    Tom Hanks tells the story of his childhood. A brilliant and moving film about 2 children with an abusive step-father, although the abuse it not directly shown, the effects are still quite hard hitting.

    Elijah Wood won a Young Artist Award for this film 'Best Young Actor Starring in a Motion Picture'

    And Joseph Mazzello was nominated for

    'Best Actor Under Ten in a Motion Picture'

    Both amazing performances.

    The film was also nominated for 'Best Family Motion Picture'

    Well worth seeing.
