3 stars

15 Aug 2008

When his only friend dies a man suffering from dwarfism moves to rural New Jersey hoping for a life of solitude. What he finds is a hot dog vendor and an extremely ditzy woman trying to get over the death of her son. The film is relatively enjoyable as, to its credit, it is sensitive without being overly sentimental. It is, however, hard to completely believe in the characters at times, and therefore hard to empathise with them. The lead, Finbar Mc Bride played by Peter Dinklage is a definite highlight of the movie and he cinematography is also excellent which makes up for the slow pace, which can be a little frustrating at times. I would give this film a 3 star rating.
