“(MU) De Niro, wants to kill or to teach Di Caprio, almost a simile of the plot. Tobias or Jack (the boy's 2 names) really templates his character arounf Dwight/De Niro while mixing with local boys with no future including a gay one...” read more

"3.3 "

“A wonderfully made film, the subject matter not so much. You really feel a sense of empathy and remorse for both Tobias 'Jack' Wolff, and his Mother all throughout this film; even during the opening scene from Jack's VoiceOver which details why they're moving. Unlike myself about a year ago, if you read the plot before actually watching this movie it'll be quite predictable once we, as the audience, are introduced to Dwight Hansen. But if you don't, only about a quarter into the film your prediction of the ending will become pretty clear, if not accurate.

The acting as well! Man, it was amazing and I'm sure I'd rate this film much lower if the actors who didn't play the antagonists weren't casted. Robert De Niro was brilliant as always, I can tell he put some study into the man ” read more

"Ei ole yllättävää, että kun Robert de Niro ja Leonardo DiCaprio pääsevät samaan elokuvaan riehumaan, lopputulos on näyttelytyön juhlaa. Road-moviena alkava laatudraama nappaa nopeasti imuunsa nimenomaan hienojen roolisuoritusten ansiosta: DiCaprio esittää kuritonta puberteettikipuilua potevaa Tobya, ensiluokan kapinallista, joka reissaa ajelehtivan äitinsä Caroline Wolffin (Ellen Barkin) kanssa osavaltiosta toiseen päätyen lopulta etelään, Concrete-nimiseen kaupunkiin – tönÃ"

"29.5, PC Hyvät roolisuoritukset De Nirolta vittumaisena isäpuolena ja DiCaapriolta kasvukipuisena poitsuna. Myös tässä filmissä häiritsi jonkun verran kertojaäänet ja muut ysärin Hollywood-elokuvalle tyypilliset piirteet, vaikka elokuva itsessään on ihan toimivaa draamaa."
