The entire film seems like a far-away dream about a family you may have had in another lifetime. I first saw this film in high school, and I remember the entire class yawning when it first started, but quite a few of us were captivated ...

However, keep some Kleenex handy during the final scene because your eyes will well up with tears. A truly great movie for children and adults alike. Browse for similar items by category:
