Excellent, Without a doubt!!
It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.
what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.
A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.
I hadn't personally heard of this one, until I stumbled across it on IMDb. Decent rating, with that '7th Heaven' kid. (I used to love that show.) I thought I'd give it a try.What a great find! I thoroughly enjoyed this story. The acting from all involved was excellent. The story was believable. The characters were ones you could understand emotionally (even if you've never been in their shoes).A story driven piece. It's not about effects or anything superficial. It actually means something.While I think it was perfectly executed by all involved, I do not give it a ten. It was enjoyable. I really like it, but I don't love it. I think it's basically because I'm not a teen or a young child and that's who it's aimed at.But, that being said, I would watch it again, and maybe even add it to our families movie library. Give it a try. You, too, may be pleasantly surprised.
I caught this movie on TV and at first I thought it was a movie I had seen before but I soon realized it was a remake. I did not think it was as good as the original. The script has been rewritten for younger audiences and the characters were younger. In the original I think it starts off on her 18th birthday. Due to the younger characters they toned down the romantic plot to more of a teenage puppy love. Also they took out a lot of the quirkiness of the original character who was more of an adventurous tom boy that liked to pretend she was Huidini.If you like this movie I recommend watching the original.The original is "Samantha" (1992) IMDb# tt0102832
A very relaxing movie with real understanding of early teenage. Evan Rachel Wood plays a very interesting character with real passion. All the other child actors also did their respective jobs quite satisfactorily. The script is wonderfully written which makes it a perfect early-teen movie without being perky.The ending somehow becomes a little too predictable and the story should have included more of Emily's darker side of nature. But I understand this film to be watched mostly by much younger audience, so I guess it's better to keep her character such near-perfect. In the end, the movie is definitely pleasant and relaxing to watch.
It was just fantastic one of the cutest movies i have seen. First of all the persons who don't like this movie aren't seeing the movie from 14 yr old point of view. A very good children movie, love the acting of Evan Rachel Wood(Emily). Her acting while playing violin was the best and Liked the music as well. Michael Angarano(Filip)also was very good. Well i have read comments of some on this movie saying David Gallagher (David) should have not got together with (Emily). I would say the director was right in getting David with Emily instead of Filip. as Emily was shown being attracted to David from the start. I like the scene where Emily sees Filip doing the job of Secret keeper, the dialogues were good in that scene. well i liked the kid who keeps the kittens. A very Satisfying movie.
