This was an EXCELLENT, EXCELLENT film - 20 cuts above the main. From beginning to end - acting, directing, cinematography, but most especially - the story. The screenwriting was phenomenal - how expertly they packed a riveting story into two hours without lagging, without losing interest - EVERYTHING about this film was intelligent, inspiring, wholesome, life-affirming - if it were playing at a high end movie theater i would gladly have paid top dollar to see it. I cannot say enough good about it - except now I want to buy the DVD. And that kid - Maxwell Simba - what an outstanding actor! Watching this made you fall in love with the whole family and the others as well, and you find you want only the very best of the very best for them. But especially for William. This film is a real jewel. Please see it if you want to restore your faith in man. A must see.
Did I mention that I LOVED this film? Finally - in the caldron of Hollywood dross, a cinematic diamond! Well done - the lot of you! Well done!
