## Description

.com               This atmospheric tale of real love, set in 1944 Brooklyn and shot on a deliciously alive studio street, concerns a young Jewish boy named Alan Silverman (Lukas Haas) who is pressured into providing companionship for a catatonic French girl, Naomi Kirschenbaum (Vanessa Zaoui). The latter witnessed her father's death at the hands of the Gestapo and has been lost in herself ever since. A small crowd of Naomi's boosters, including Alan's parents (Michael Gross, Amy Aquino), hope that his frequent visits to her can resuscitate her old spirit. Poor Alan, however, with his mind on such crucial matters as improving his stickball game, is hardly in a position to understand Naomi's psychological wilderness, let alone penetrate it. Yet his essential decency wins over all else, and if his secrecy about the matter draws the disappointment and wrath of his bewildered best friend--an endearing, tough, Irish-Catholic pug named Shaun Kelly (a wonderful performance by Kevin Connolly)--then Naomi's progressive steps toward trust are worth it. Writer Jordan Horowitz and director Sterling Van Wagenen, working from the novel by Myron Levoy, lovingly create a nostalgia-glazed world of childhood innocence and distance from wartime horrors, a world that permanently changes with Alan's first experience of selfless love. Terrific acting by Haas, Zaoui, and the rest of the cast. --Tom Keogh

    Wonderful film to teach kids about a dark chapter in ...
  

*by E***R on Reviewed in the United States on May 29, 2017*

I had never seen Lukas Haas in anything except Witness. He was wonderful in that film and he did a great job in this movie as the young stick ball lover who at first wants nothing to do with the "crazy" girl down the hall until he learns why she is acting the way she is. His soul is expanded through his relationship with her and that is always nice to see in a story. I've seen most of these Family films from this production company and this is one of the best. It's a wonderful film to teach kids about a dark chapter in world history without any actual violence. The violence is mostly only implied (although we know what happened). And there is a quick flash of the Nazis grabbing the girl's father in a flashback scene. Take a break from the latest Disney film and sit down with the kids for a story that shows how the power of love and friendship can help to heal traumatic wounds. And yet, that healing is not overplayed. As a result, I would think that this film would appeal to those viewers who are more fussy about everything being tied up in a nice sentimental package at the end. This subtle film should be seen by more people, and is, in my view, better than most major studio films. Oh, and the jazzy music is great too!

    Excellent story of understanding and feeling empathy for another.
  

*by H***L on Reviewed in the United States on March 7, 2020*

I never heard of this movie before and I caught the second half of it on late night tv. It was so good and i was compelled to buy it to view the rest of it as it was unavailable on all of the movie apps and screening subscriptions i had. A somewhat sad but beautifully done story, well acted and worth seeing.

*by J***N on Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2010*

This is a great movie dealing with the shock of anti-semitism. However the edition on DVD that I've seen has been sanitized by about 8 minutes. This destroys the integrity of the filmakers intent by removing the visual shock that Naomi sees and also the racist taunts of Alan's schoolmates. I suppose the organization behind this DVD doesn't want to offend anyone who doesn't want to think for themselves. I doubt that the director is aware of the hack job done to this excellent film.
