Too much sentimental bigotry the way American housewives love it.

I used to watch this movie a lot when I was a little girl. I could always remember that I thought he was very beautiful.. Because it has been so long, I took the time this morning to give him another chance.

What an incredibly moving film this is.. It just goes to show how mean and dishonest people can be. And why? I couldn't help but shed a few tears.

Mel gibson is a good actor. I never doubted that.. But what he puts here.. There are just no words for that. There are very few people who can act so convincingly.

Nick Stahl was also not wrong as a little one. Still, I think his strong role as a little boy is good.

Precisely because the film seems so incredibly realistic, and such things also happen in daily life, it is a very strong story that comes into its own.

Yes, after all the years that I last saw it, I remember exactly how I felt after watching this movie.

This is definitely a keeper. a big 4 *

Beautiful film in which we not only see that Norstadt and McLeod build true friendships with each other, but also see the reality that men who are only with boys are immediately accused of sex abuse. A 1993 film that is still relevant to this day and that I can recommend to anyone who likes a film with a grain of truth. Mel Gibson plays well in this film as usual and the rest of the film is also well put together.

Not a high-quality film, but a film that is current and beautifully put together. Also a nice ending, the film looked good. 3.5*.
