Ryan A Apr 30 For myself, the best way to judge whether a movie is worth watching is how it resonates with you well after the first watch. Are the feelings you had while watching the film still sitting with you. Was the film memorable long after the first watch. Things like editing, movie scores, solid acting, cinematography can be gauged on a first glance, but the total summation of a films true success take time for a complete summation. This movie is a timecapsul filled with emotions. I absolutely do not understand how a person can watch this film and not find value on the screen. You don't need to be born in the 70s to appreciate the story or the struggles the story teller projects. All the child actors were stupendous. Scores and music were very well executed. If you haven't seen it you should. It's not for everybody, but it's a memorable film, and if I'm the filmmaker that is the true gauge for success.

What stays with me is how this movie continually grows on you from beginning to end, evoking so many emotions in the process that it fills the spectrum from elation to despair to rage. The War is definitely recommended, is a popcorn-eating event, but does come with children swearing a bunch. This is the realism of 1970's ghetto-speak, so it was easy to tolerate.

What’s essentially a 60s period movie taking place in the impoverished south it delves into social rivalries and familial upheaval from the PTSD stricken Kevin Costner. This movie follows the main protagonist, a young Elijah Wood as he tackles the construction of a treehouse in conflict with a rival clan leading up to a climactic battle between the two with a wholesome resolution resulting from tragic events. See more Eric G 05/30/2024 This is one of those movies that's just extremely well done. From start to finish, you are captivated by the story. The acting is top notch, cinematography is amazing, music is touching, it's got pretty much everything except romance.
