this is probably the first film i can honestly say is one of my favorites. i heard about it on npr after so many years of being forced by my parents to listen and i finally heard about something that interested me. i guess being about the same age as the main character when this movie came out i made a special connection but every time i see it, i still feel the twinge of childhood before everything got so serious that makes the film great the watch and get lost in for a little while.

I searched and searched for this film; which is pretty hard when you don’t remember the name or any stars. It is special to me for the weird secondary characters who come into the lives of two brothers who encounter them during their stay in a depression era hotel while they salesman father is off trying to make a few dollars to pay for their room and a living. I love his movie and I wish it would become available to the general population again. I hope you get the rights because a lot of people are missing a cool film.

Entre sua estréia badalada com SEXO, MENTIRAS E VIDEOTAPE e seu retorno aos holofotes com IRRESISTÍVEL PAIXÃO, Steven Soderbergh amargou vários fracassos de público e crítica, na maior parte das vezes, injustos.
Como é o caso desta simpática e nostálgica crônica passada em plena depressão americana e baseada nas memórias de A.E. Hotchner. Soderbergh foge das armadilhas que o gênero permite ao nos fazer ver aquele mundo pelos olhos do garoto Aaron (feito por Bradford, que estrelaria, quando adulto, filmes como FLAGS OF OUR FATHERS), sem santificar ou martirizar sua imagem.
Ótimo elenco coadjuvante, incluindo um novato Adrien Brody já mostrando serviço.
