I only watched this for the first time tonight. I get small actor obsessions, and make a point to see all I can that they've done. My current one is Keith Coogan (he was credited as Keith Mitchell). And I found out my library had this movie, so I checked it out.
I am so amazingly glad I did check it out. It gave me a sort of indescribable feeling. When the kids see the sun...It reminded me of how wonderful that kind of thing was when I was a kid. I'm only 15, but it seems I'd totally forgotten. In that particular scene, it captures a great feeling of innocence, awe and wonder that only a younger kid can get. And everything else in the movie is wonderful too. Though a depressing story, and I found myself on the verge of tears when Margot sticks her hand into the small strip of sunlight, it's beautiful. And I also think the kids did a wonderful job. I was amazed at how well they captured honest emotion and...I'm horrible at describing things, and this movie gave me an indescribable feeling.
And I'm glad I'm not the only one to love this so much...Reading the other reviews, they all make perfect sense. Other than the whole seeing it on PBS when you were young. I figure that most kids my age won't get to see this...and I'm gonna make a point to share it.
