It's always funny writing reviews like this. It's hard not to be biased. I suppose an outsider might see this film and say it's predictable and boring. For me, I see films like this as a window to my past. The 1980's. Something I would fondly watch on HBO when I was growing up as a teenager. I always found Heavenly Kid to be funny and sentimental. If I had to make an honest review for the public, I'd have to give it a 7 or 8, when inside, it really feels like a 10.
I think the public should see it as a 7 or 8, because even though a lot of it is predictable, it had a unique and entertaining perspective on life, the afterlife, love, loss and closure. And to see this film in 2020 as somewhat lost in time, makes me sad. But I guess that's life. It goes on. And I had a blast watching this all over again. I'll probably click on it a few more times over the next few months, just for fun. I hope you enjoy it too.
