Fly Away Home is one of the most beautiful movies I've seen in ages. Jeff Daniels outdoes himself, showing off one of his better roles. The story is very nice, but I think the execution is fantastic. The moments when the girl is alone in the air with the birds say so much, and the very beautiful music makes it even more wonderful. In my eyes a very strong film, I can nevertheless imagine that some people do not think so.. I give it a well deserved 4*.

Beautiful film with beautiful nature images. The story is simple, yet beautiful and touching. Beautifully played by the then still young actress Anna Paquin. These days I always watch her in the wonderful series "True Blood". By the way, there are nature images of her in it

I really think this is a wonderful movie. It is based on a true story, although here the leading role is played by teenage girl Anna Paquin. It's also nice to see father and daughter who are estranged from each other grow back together through the care for the geese. Truly touchingly beautiful. The extras on the DVD are also very interesting.
