Favorite Child Performances

There is no great performance like a great performance from a child. Of course the director takes a hand in how well the child performs, Spielberg and Truffaut are both well known for their abilities to work with children, but when it comes down to it there’s just no getting around the fact that some of these children outdo their adult counterparts. Possibly my favorite performance from all these films is Thomas Turgoose in This Is England. Not only does he look perfect for the part, but delivers the performance with as little understanding and as much innocence as his character.
