A Nice Change of Pace on an Important Issue

Rating: 10/10 (25 April 2015)

Rich, colorful scenery and characters, great story. I was surprised at how good the acting was in this movie, too. The young actor who portrays the "little boy" is spot on in his emotions and acting ability. Wow, a star in the making I believe.
When you can forget your surroundings and just get immersed in a movie for a couple of hours, it is a great thing.
We never outgrow our need to be reminded of some of the most basic and important things of life but I definitely say parents ought to bring their age-appropriate kids to this one. This film moves along nicely and keeps pace with your interest level! Since my own mother lived during the years the movie takes place, I can attest to the fact that it is pretty true-to-life. As I watched it some of her stories of life during that time came back to me.
Our movie-going audience clapped at the end of the movie. There was no way I could not clap, too. I really liked this one.
