A boy who cannot speak moves to a struggling fishing town with his widowed mother. Bullied by his peers, he soon finds his artistic voice with help from a film camera and an eccentric repairman.
Q-tips say: Yes, watch CAMERA.
This great film explores the complex friendship which develops between a boy and older neighbor. This movie does 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.
Mrs. Q says: Enjoy the beautiful scenes that the young boy captures while taking pictures. I wonder why the hard working, loving mother did not teach the boy sign language, not just writing notes on a pad & learn sign language herself. Very heartwarming and moving film that almost left me crying in the end.
