Goodnight Mister Tom (1998)
Review of the British coming of age film Goodnight Mister Tom (1998) starring Nick Robinson
Trevor (1994)
Trevor is a film for each of us - a film for youthful confusion, for acceptance and individualism. If you have 20 minutes to spare - they will be best spent in watching this wonderful short film. This film has a very inspirational introduction by Ellen DeGeneres.
Pixote: A Lei do Mais Fraco (1981)
Pixote (1981) - all the kid actors came from the real world – from the poorest neighborhoods, with one mission in life – to survive.
Mandragora (1997)
But on to the movie, it is the masterpiece of Wiktor Grodecki. Of this, there is no doubt. I highly recommend that you watch it at least once. And maybe someday you will be able to make a difference for a boy, who may be living like the boys shown in this movie.
Pianese Nunzio, Fourteen in May (1996)
Sacret Silence is shoot in an unique way as many of the characters talk directly to the viewer.
