Camera’s best moments take place when Silverman manages to put you in the shoes of an aching kid trying to get a hold of his new reality in a new community while developing unexpectedly deep bonds in the process.

Rated: 7/10

Jay Silverman did an excellent job showing how a child that couldn't talk could bring the town together in the end. Beau Bridges played an excellent mentor guiding and supporting young "Oscar" in the film. Very heartwarming and moving film that left me crying in the end.

These are types of films that the entertainment industry is missing. The cinematography, character development, and story are all really well done. I agree with the sentiments of others, every frame could be a photograph. It is also worth noting that you don’t really know who the characters are until you see them in Oscars frame, only then can the audience really understand them. Well done!

Camera is a wholesome and heartwarming film, I absolutely loved following Oscar’s journey. He is such a unique character and the actor, Miguel, stole my heart and pulled me into his world. Worth the watch!!!

What a wonderful story. Totally original and touching on so many levels. Filmed in a way that almost every single frame is like an image from the boys camera. Highly recommend this film. It comes at a time when we can all use a smile, a laugh and a tear of joy. I highly recommend.

Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars

Camera was a great movie. It really showed a difference of what a mentor can do in someone's life. Helping them get through struggles and sharing wisdom and knowledge with one another. It was also nice to see a heartfelt movie that showed what life looks like for everyone in a community. They all have their different struggles and we need one a other to build eachother up.
