The Parts You Lose

This scheme of a friendship between a boy and a fugitive is not new at all, we already have seen this before. But this little movie is really well done, with convincing acting and directing too. This is a psychological drama and a character study. I would have easily imagined Mathias Schoenaerts in the fugitive role. Maybe because he is so in love with horses - why not a tribute to Sterling Hahden's character in ASPHALT JUNGLE - as Schoenaerts was in NEVADA.

Based on the genre the film we set I expected to see aron paul in an action thriller shooting and taking names. This film was not that and it was actually better than I expected. The friendship he creates with Weasley is touching and I feel sorry for what the poor lad has to put up with everyday at school. Props to danny murphy for having to learn american sign language for the film. The rest of the cast were good to and overall a nice mystery drama.

This movie was very touching. It drew you into the world of the bullied child. It was easy to over look the fact that he was befriending a dangerous criminal when he showed genuine care and respect for the child, more so than the child's father who treated him poorly. I'd recommend this movie to anyone, not just because I'm from Winnipeg either😀

I am terrible at writing reviews, and rarely see the point in doing so, given that there are so many that are fake or of otherwise negative intent. But I felt compelled to review this film.

I grew up starving for a positive male role model, and so I related quite strongly to this story. I can understand those who don't have that connection finding the film slow or outright boring.

For my part, though, I very much enjoyed a story that spoke to the need for such a figure in a young boy's life.

My uncle actually moved in with us for a time, and I relished it--but my mother thought his dating lifestyle was a negative influence, so she kicked him out. It was agonizing to me. And yet I said nothing.

We are human beings that have needs. Being ignored and/or abused and/or ridiculed relentlessly are not among them.

Thank you for telling a worthwhile story from such an incredibly rare angle.

Again and again i just can't understand why we sometimes underrated some movies, and sometimes overrated others!!! this move as i seen -humbly- so simple, quiet, small budget, but so touchy, and as in Breaking Bad series, Aaron paul give us entertaining performance, besides the kid Dany Murphy, with flowless, quiet soundtrack. Simple movie, but convenance. simple movie but so convincing in performance, directing, soundtrack, scenario and the story.
