Just a wonderful movie!

Rating: 10/10 (8 December 2007)

It's been a while since I walked out of a movie with a tear in my eye feeling like I really got my monies worth. Even though the plot becomes obvious early in the film it's so well acted that you really get sucked in. The kid playing August was amazing and really sold me on the part. Robin Williams also does a great job and leaves you in suspense during most of the movie as to whether he's actually a good guy or protagonist. In fact I'm still thinking about that one.
The soundtrack was just marvelous as well, I'm still getting chills recalling the interplay between the scenes of the mother and father (and later August) playing as their individual music slowly blends into one score, it was just amazing how well it worked.
This is one DVD I'm definitely buying for the collection and I can't say that about too many these days.
