This movie explores the secret thoughts of many Mother's. It is a dangerous connection these two shared and her obsession was both frightening and beautiful. As a Mother, I cried, because I could relate on some level to her overwhelming love for her child. The dialogue was breathtaking and I would recommend any Mother, even Father, to watch this movie. It for sure did not receive the credit it is due! Amazing work of art!

Forget Jason Buchanan's synopsis of this film. Kevin Bacon and Kyra Sedgwick have not made a bad production since they got together. This film explores the dangers of parents trying to live their ideal of life through their children and DESPITE their children. Emily (Sedgwick) felt creatively stifled by her parents, and wants her "exceptional" son to be able to live creatively - to the point of ignoring reality. Paul (her son) wants to be one of the kids, which is not in Emily's plan. As she discovers that Paul is, and only wants to be, normal, Emily feels threatened. Ultimately, she cannot accept that Paul rejects her idealized existence, and she cannot fit into the "normal" world Paul wants to occupy. WATCH THIS MOVIE.

WOW! AMAZING FILM! this movie really stayed with me... as a single momma, i can totally relate to all the things emily wanted to do for her son...to teach him, assist him in becoming a creative thinker and show him the magical part of the world. there is also the part of wanting the little person all to yourself. that is fantasy, however, and this film reminds us as mothers that while can want all the aforementioned things for our children, a WONDERFUL momma knows to do all the magical things she tried to do AND encourage our little people to fly. that is where emily failed. but bless her heart, she sure tried! this is a true drama...not comedy or light fare. WATCH IT!

Some of the movie was good, but to call your son loverboy all the time, and the end, oh my god. My hubby hated it and was yelling at the screen

In my opinion this movie was very bizarre, and mostly a disappointment. Not at all what I expected. Someone else commented that the sound was messed up in parts and I have to agree. In certain spots I could barely hear it without turning my volume nearly all the way up.

I rented this purely because I love Kyra Sedgwick on "The Closer" and this film proved why I find her a great actress, not to mention the body of an angel !

I personally did not enjoy this movie. I found it very disturbing. This movie should have a warning label.
