great, great movie

Rating: Null/10 (14 October 2000)

Melodrama at its best. I've seen a lot of movies already this year but this is the first one that has been truly outstanding IMHO. About a year ago I saw American Beauty and Three Kings in the same week. Until BE, nothing I've seen since then has come close. Anyway, I thought it was really emotionally affective and a great performance by the kid that played Billy. Also, I loved the score/soundtrack. How the music really came in hard to underline the drama. Like when the kid was running around, or when the father was running up the hill to tell his friends the good news. Great movie and highly recommended.
