Very strong film, solid performances, good story

Offered a decent film rating here - am not part of film group, is honest review.I enjoyed this film when beforehand, didnt think I would. There is plenty of script to follow but not my usual type of film where main character has minimal lines (Offering no spoilers) I enjoyed film so did not prove to be an issue!Characters - good performances all 7 out 10s minimal. Young lad steals the show for obvious reasons, he was the main character..Storyline / script / plot - ok, good, not memorable but good for the moment.In truth was able to get lost in the film - even to feel emotionally attached at times.Is a good film. Film is nothing spectacular like, but for me, one of the better films have seen in months.

Beauty in sadness

Many people criticized the film for being too sentimental, probably resenting the fact that it made them tear up, but it's not the kind of sad that you usually see in films. Instead it's a bit bittersweet, with an underlying solution for that sadness.The story is about a little mute child in a poor fisherman village where everybody is struggling, is frustrated and sad. His mother is sad, his uncle is sad and he has no friends until he befriends an old man who fixes his old camera, the only thing he has left from his dead father. The lesson here being that even when life gives you lemons, you can see their beauty when you photograph them in black and white.OK, I am a bit mean, but the movie is pretty beautiful. Beau Bridges piles on the gravitas of his voice and the nice old man vibe, the kid is actually a pretty good actor - and you know how rare that is, while the supporting characters all show moments of deepness without taking too much screen time. The ending is a bit weak, with some over the top farewell scenes with actors that don't really land them, but the rest of the film does convey that idea that you can find beauty in the most banal and sad moments.Bottom line: not a masterpiece, but a good dramatic film.

Beautiful Ending

This movie is about a mute 9-year-old boy named Oscar. After moving to a fishing town with his widowed mother, he gets bullied by other children and struggles to fit in. He finds peace in his camera which belonged to his late dad and forms a bond with the owner of a local repair shop, Eric Conway played by Beau Bridges. Eric shares with Oscar photography tips and spends time with him unlike anyone else, including his mother. The movie also tackles the modernisation debate brought up by one of the locals. Locals were divided between keep doing what they did for generations or build a luxury hotel to bring in tourists, create new jobs and boost the economy.The movie was nice to watch. Miguel Gabriel who played Oscar did not convince me much with his performance however this seems to be his first movie for the big screen, so he is excused? I enjoyed more the performance of supporting actors Beau Bridges and Jessica Parker Kennedy (Oscar's mum). Cinematography and music were fine, and the ending was very emotional. Oscar manages to speak through his photography and in the process unite the divided locals.
