Georgan G This film is like stepping back into the Depression. The main child actor, A. E. Hotchner, was simply amazing. Although a sad tale in many ways, I found it uplifting in terms of courage. The dogged fight each person had to keep up day after day was inspiring. Goes to show you can do nearly anything if you have to.

In Soderbergh's third film ever, he shows a strong grasp on both direction and storytelling, delivering a captivating and powerful drama with well-written characters and dialogue, as well as a phenomenal lead performance from a young Bradford. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 01/23/23 Full Review Audience Member A true masterpiece - outstanding, an absolute favorite that seems to have all but disappeared for those of us who'd love to see it again! Well crafted with its gut-wrenching and uplifting moments with a remarkable ensemble of fascinating, very real characters, many of whom seem worthy of their own movie around their own situation. Desperate circumstances put young Aaron in a survival mode in the bleak depression yet this film is anything but depressing. Often harsh and intense, yet full of entertaining moments and Aaron's unsinkable spirit carrying him through it all. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Really good ... I like it Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/12/23 Full Review Audience Member The story of Aaron, the coolest kid on the block, and his struggling family during the depression in the 1930's. Aron is doing well in school, even with few money. His parents are not earning much and are often not around trying to get money from places further away. He tries to get hold of some money himself with varied results. Still, his biggest feature is that he is super kind and everyone likes him. He is the coolest and best kid on the block. Both Bradford and Brody are rock solid and is lofting the superb story. It looks good and got few flat moments - some uplifting ones, some sadder ones, but no flat moments. This is feel good to the fullest. Soderbergh shows a lot of heart here, in one of his earlier and slightly overlooked film. Oh, also way cool to see Lauren Hill as an elevator girl. 7.5 out of 10 cigar bands. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review Read all reviews
