REVIEWS

Review by anonymous (posted on 10-Sep-2006)

Heartwarming, intriguing film depicting the relationship between a man hiding from the government because he is a gifted, blind psychic and a young boy who lives in a nearby apartment. The relationships between characters; the boy and his female friend, the mother and the boy, and Hopkins and the boy are well developed. David Morse, the boy grown up, goes back to his hometown and recalls the story of that important time in his life.
