I don't agree with the critics on this one at all. Little Boy is a good movie that combines different human feelings altogether in a movie. It is very good narration of love,compassion and hope. Little doesn't loses any hope rather always gets inspired about finding his father. Little Boy gets convinced on him moving the the mountain whereas earthquake happened coincidentally making it look like Little Boy did it for all those were watching the scene;Mrs.Busbee says she will always remain Mrs.James Busbee all her life to the doctor; Little boys brother realizing his mistake and saving Hashi Moto's life;Little boy completing the list to help bring his father by believing it. All these are lessons in the movie that provides you with relief on watching the movie!!

Personally, I found it to be a very very depressing film. Don't get me wrong, it's a well made film and a well told story but I kinda feel like I wanna gnaw through my wrists right now.My thoughts: I would rather watch something a bit more uplifting and escapist than another film which celebrates the worst that humanity (or our lack thereof) is capable of (eg: war, death, intolerance, racism, sexism and bullying).Watch the film for sure but if you're sad or depressed or feeling down or vulnerable - give it a miss until you get into a better emotional state.My experience. My opinion.

I rarely write reviews. This movie Little Boy is a real gem. I don't get why we haven't heard so much about it. The scenario is just perfectly written. The cinematography is really beautifully executed and the actors are all great. I was really moved, and actually normally it's is not at all what I'm searching in a movie (I'm much more into the horror/thriller/action genre). So actually I started looking, sure that I will hate it. It was the opposite. But what I loved the most in this film is the honesty of the film. You feel that it is an honest movie. You have so many movies that sometimes that are just pretending. Here it is true emotions. Really awesome film! I will remember it.

This is a heartwarming beautiful story. Now one of my all time favorites! My whole family was crying! Beautifully written. I could not believe how faithful it stayed to the Catholic faith. No Father Fluffies - just good old fashioned truth and love. There are always struggles in life - sometimes we get off the path - but I loved how the influence of the faith never left.This movie has a great 40's vintage California feel on the coast - they captured it completely. I felt like I was stepping into that era. Beautifully done. A wonderful family movie - it's inspiring! Little Boy will have you captivated and sitting on the edge of your seat! God bless everyone involved and thank you for making such a wonder-filled movie.
