This psychological drama combines coming
of age, a first kiss, bullies, and nostalgia forthe 60s (which
they captured perfectly).
The film has just enough mystical powers
without over doing the supernatural thing.
Anthony Hopkins plays a mysterious character
who is psychic. His performance is solid, along with a near-perfect
cast. This is one of the year's most purely satisfying films. |
In the summer of 1960, tensions were high,
as the threat of communism loomed darkly over the nation like
a thick blanket of fog.
Mysterious strangers were suspect, and so were the people who
were chasing them.
It was that summer when 11-year-old Bobby Garfield's life would
be changed forever.
Hearts in Atlantis is a nostalgic coming-of-age film with
solid acting all around, and compared to other films out this
year--a gem. |
(Sings,
Only You.)
Hearts in Atlantis is a coming-of-age tale about a young boy who's
befriended by a mysterious stranger.
The movie is low key but consistently interesting with a treasure
of fascinating characters.
It's a small, well-contained, beautiful
film with a very touching story. |
