    I love Danny Glover so this movie got my attention. The little girl was amazing. I like this type of movies, they make you feel.

    I love Danny Glover in anything he does. Lenny played a beautiful role here and I was surprised at the cast of great actors scattered throughout the film. It was very sad and heart wrenching at times, and very simple in other scenes. I like a film that moves me and this one is no exception.

    Great story plot, wonderful acting by Danny Glover and especially by the young girl, who I could not find the name of. She was phenomenal! Ending very sad but seemed to fit the movie. My husband spent two tours in Vietnam during that conflict, so this was especially moving for us to watch.
