Dear Frankie review

Great British Movie

This movie is full of emotions. I think that everyone who sees it โ€“ would feel them. The main character of the movie is Frankie โ€“ 9 and half years old boy who is deaf โ€“ but that isnโ€™t really that much important as he does have a great personality . You should see him writing the A in Deaf when one of his classmates tries to bring him down. Frankie miss his fatter terribly and writes to him often โ€“ only it is not his dad who writes back , but his mom โ€“ I donโ€™t want to include any spoilers โ€“ so I would just highly recommend this movie to you. At first I was heaving a bit of trouble picking up the English accent , but in a few minutes got used to it โ€“ the movie did not have subtitles, which was fine by me as I generally donโ€™t like movies with subtitles anyway ( with exception of anime movies โ€“ most of which are in Japanese as you know ). The moments which Frankie shared with his โ€œ dad โ€œ ( you will see for yourself why I am using the quotes here ) reminded me of my own dad โ€“ who is away now โ€“ and I am pretty much in the situation of Frankie โ€“ writing to him , only am using yahoo messenger โ€“ rather than mails. There were quite some moments in the movie I could relate to myself.

The music is well chosen as well and adds to the overall atmosphere โ€“ I do not know the reason but UK movies seems to be much better made than any else โ€“ on a psychological base if you want to call it that way. Like Billy Elliot, Dear Frankie would make you feel.

9/10
