Within a relatively freeform story and in the company of his parents, Bodhi doesn't even seem to perform. He just is, and it is a joy to watch.

The movie's imaginative energy is undeniable, and Bodhi himself is a winning screen presence.

"The Place of No Words" clearly means so much to the tight circle of people who made it that it feels almost like an invasion of privacy to call it a depressing, charmless slog.

The journey through this wild, illogical imagination is delightfully charming, and sure to tug at even the stiffest of heart strings.

Started as a family dealing with a dying father and degraged into where the wild things eating doughnuts in a forest. Maybe you are supposed to watch stoned to make it make sense.

Incredibly moving and sentimental. The editing does a great job of going A to C - a great reflection of the movie’s imaginative spirit.
