Nice

Rating: 7/10 (25 April 2015)

I found the movie to be nice. Yes, nice is the correct word. There's nothing profound here or earth shattering. It is a simple fantasy about the power of faith. It presents the world of a seven year old trying to deal with the complexities and horrors of the adult world. That world requires a lot of faith.
Jakob Salvati plays the role very well. His acting makes the film work. He is convincing as the little boy who believes anything is possible.
If you try to read more into this movie you'll miss out. The film is predictable. Fantasies are predictable in that the ending is always the same. But, I feel the movie was worth the 2 hours that I sat back and tuned into the little boy in me.
I give the film a seven. It is a beautiful production. The acting is competent though predictable. I give it higher marks because I needed something nice to divert my mind from the horrors that I see and read about everyday.
If you're looking for something more than the world of a seven year old this is not the movie for you.
