Alejandro Monteverde delivers another dark and intense exploration into the depths of the human experience.

May 28, 2016 Wonderful clever family story that touched on numerous tough topics in the most sensible way, even on racism and the concept of reason vs faith. Don't miss it.

This movie is great, and the whole family can watch it. The story telling, acting and plot is great. It has a surprise ending, even though it goes a little slow in the middle of the movie. One of the few movies I enjoyed watching several…

This movie is far more complex than some reviewers seem to understand. The boy, though prejudiced against a Japanese-American at first, is led not just to repentance, but also to actually making up for his past behavior, and there is a…

Some really good actors....a bit too sweet for me, but it does have a moral to the story.

Comic book fantasy is confused with religious faith in Alejandro Monteverde’s WWII fable, an English language confection so oppressively saccharine it's like drowning in corn syrup while being beaten about the head with a Sunday School…

A very powerful, moving, and heartwarming story about a little boy who is willing to do whatever it takes to bring his father home from World War II. Great family movie, but keep in mind the PG-13 rating.

Very enjoyable film from historical set designs and costumes of the mid-1940s to the story that reaps with emotional pluses without being preachy. Well done film and highly recommended.

Devotion of a little boy to his father. Deals well with some difficult topics. And yes, I consider it a family film.

A score of 30, yes THIRTY, on Metacritic. Need I say more?

Never mind the nuclear holocaust, daddy's coming home! Actors have troughs as well as peaks in their careers, true, but I had no idea Tom Wilkinson, Emily Watson, and others had sunk this low. Can't movies like this stick to performers…

I agree with firefly5. This film has a quote on DVD's the cover: "Bet family film of the year." This is NOT a family film. It is full of bullying, threats , racial slurs and violence, both in the tiny American town and in the archival…

I see good reviews, but I don't agree that it was a good movie! Could not stand the racism and bullying! Not my type of movie!

Surprisingly well done! Strong plot, solid acting---positive message despite dealing with difficult topics such as faith, war, bullying, racism. Amazingly, 95% of the "investors" (financiers) were Hispanic Americans. "Little Boy"…

This is a very good movie. Amazing life. This boy should get an acting award.

what an amazing , family type of movie without the cartoons. Teaches respect, kindness, observes fear, passing, hope, survival. A very very hidden gem that if you are even READING if this is worth seeing, you are wasting time not going…

A wonderful story, though it has gotten some poor reviews from professional secular critics, there's a lot to like about this film.
