Average Rating:
Rating: - Wonderful French film
I had already seen this movie twice on a colleague's videotape, and wanted it to show to my advanced students.It is a wonderful story about the change in the life of a driven businessman when he has to care for a young man with Down's Syndrome.It is only in Zone 2 format, so it is very difficult to find in the U.S., but if you speak French and have a multi-zone DVD player, it is worth ordering.It does have English, Dutch and French subtitles.Teachers should obviously view it before showing ...

Rating: - French Class
I watched this in my French class. The entire class was in uproar over the scene where he walks on water. We still make the "phhht" noise even months later.
Rating: - Amazing!
This has got to be one of the most powerful movies I've ever seen.It is so far above and beyond the usual run of the mill Hollywood films that there is absolutely no comparison.And if you don't cry at the end, you may not be quite human.
Rating: - A Magical Tale..............
This truly is a magical tale which will touch your life & stay with you forever.....
It will make you laugh & it will make you cry - It makes you see things differently & look at life with a different perspective.
This film touched my life - I hope it does the same for you.
Quite simply, it's amazing.
Rating: - One of the best movies you'll ever watch ...
... from the moment you see a character with Down's Syndrome identifying with a tv history of Mongolia, until Spanish crooner Luis Mariano serenades him on a sweet chocolate trip out of time.
I'm glad to see all the good reviews. I thought I was the only American who had ever seen this movie, but apparently it's left its mark on a few others. Auteil is wonderful as always, and Pascal Duquenne is remarkable. I believe the two of them shared that year's best actor prize at Cannes.
