This is a very nice small film. It is about a working class mother who's seven year old son is a child genius. It deals with a struggle between someone who wants to develop the child's interlect and the mother, who only wants him to be a child and enjoy his formative years.
This film could have been a lot better. The idea is a good one. However the actors just don't seem to get into their characters and so they don't come alive. As the story progresses you feel indifferent to the child and his heavy burden. Some realistic emotion would have made this film - but its absence killed it.
