Roberts was astonishing. That kid can convey a lot with just his face and eyes. Rennie was very good, too, but then again, he always is. The movie was quiet and slow with very good acting, a good story, and lousy directing. Too bad about the last thing but, since it shocked me at least once, it's worth watching anyway.
