Hitchcock's ghost has directed a new picture

Rating: 9/10 (26 August 1999)

It really isn't Hitchcock's ghost who directed this excellent film. It is a twenty-nine year old, who tackles concepts like death and caring. A review of his previous films suggests that the theme of the child and mentor is an important one for the director. This is a film that captures the shadows of the past cast forward in time and especially in Philadelphia. It should be an Oscar nominee for best picture. It will certainly be a popular one judging by the word of mouth.
