The way I see it, you have people who own lawns and people who mow them. They're never the same.

"Once upon a time, in the middle of a big dark forest, there lived a boy, in a house, all alone..."
I adore this film, most definitely up there in my favorites. Mischa Barton and Sam Rockwell are both equally amazing in this film with great chemistry. A beautiful story of an unlikely yet true friendship, friendship that is judged too quickly. Inside the life of an innocent girl, dreaming of fairy tales and a man who gives no mind to such things. A truly magnificent film that is easily deserving of 4 stars. This movie used to be (And probably still is) considered very controversial simply because of a 20 year old and 12 year old having a completely innocent friendship. I think it's really sad that an adult and a child can have a platonic, nonviolent friendship when a couple can't exclude violence, words or otherwise.
It's obvious that little Devon(Mischa Barton) has an infatuation with the much older Trent(Sam Rockwell). She probably experienced her first heartbreak in it. At one point, it does seem as if it's going to take that route into molestation, but it greatly derives off away from that, the thought diminishing quite quickly. However, their friendship soon has some problems, causing chaos in each of their lives. What I really found stupid and useless in this film was the young boy who just went around terrorizing people in the neighborhood. He was Dennis the Menace who didn't have a purpose in the film.
Trent's relationship with the boys really sped up the film and followed through with a great ending to an overall great movie. The ending was far fetched but suits the film's fairytale feel nicely.
"Home is in my hands."
Please critique my work. I am hoping to be a journalist and could really use some good feedback. :)
