Martian Child - 9 of 10
This surprising little film is a tremendously well handled relationship piece. Wonderfully paced, quietly witting and quite touching. It's sort of depressing that Martian Child has crashed, that's the sort of movie when my mom sees it she asks "why don't they make more great movies like this." it's tremendously well done, beautifully shot by Robert Yeoman and virtually flawless dialogue there is a bit of third act by the numbers bit to give the film a pseudo climax but the characters are so well drawn and the the relationships so beautifully and subtly handled throughout the film that I'm think the film more than earned that ending.
