Directed by Lasse Hallstrom1985 Comedy/Drama
Rated PG-13
**** 1/2
After hearing people go on and on about this film on various movie sites, I finally decided to sit down and take a look at it. It is easily one of the best movies about childhood i've ever seen. The confusion, the ease of making/losing friends, etc; everything is dead on. The high point of this film is the performance of the young boy who plays Ingemar; certainly one of the best child performances of all time. My only quibble with the film is that some characters aren't developed enough (namely Ingemar's brother and his girl friend from his original home). Aside from that, this is recommended for anyone who wants to remember how much fun it was to be a kid.
