Movie Reviews of December Boys
Movie Review: December Boys is a winner
Summary: 5 Stars
"December Boys" is a sweet, gentle tale set in Australia in the 1960's. Daniel Radcliffe, who stars as "Maps," puts in a steller performance - his delighted and delightful grin when Lucy offers to teach him to kiss is one of the cutest and most true-to-life things I've seen in a film in a long, long time. The other boys do a wonderful job as well. It's a bit hard to understand their accents at times, but that isn't a serious problem (or wasn't for me). The ending brought tears to my eyes. A touching, lovely film, and a wonderful "branching out" role for Dan Radcliffe!Movie Review: Worth Every Minute
Summary: 5 Stars
The only reason I knew about this beautiful film was a preview for it on another DVD. Daniel Radcliffe is excellent -- and so are the other three "December Boys." This is a beautiful film, well acted, gorgeously photographed (made me want to call Quantas and head for Australia). I don't know why this film was so overlooked, because it very much deserves to be seen. There's a touch of the -- what? Mystical? -- that gave me a feeling similar to when I watch "The Secret of Roan Inish," tho' it's a totally different film.
Enjoy -- then spread the word!
Movie Review: Loved this touching and poignant movie
Summary: 5 Stars
This lovely film was so undeserving of the low ratings it received. The cinematography was stunning, the story heart-warming and beautifully acted by the four young actors. Harry Potter made Daniel Radcliffe a star, this movie made him an actor. It was a brave choice to follow up HP with this "little" film but he should be extremely proud of it, as should all involved. The end was unexpected and left a huge lump in my throat. This movie no doubt will end up in my collection to be savoured over and over, I loved it. Highly recommend it.
Movie Review: A Wonderful Coming-of-Age Story
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't want to say much, except that I thoroughly enjoyed this movie. It's the kind of film that needs to be encouraged. Four Catholic orphanage boys are chosen to go on "holiday" at hidden ocean cove. The true purpose is for a middle-aged couple to chose one of them to adopt, but the boys are bonded like real brothers. The oldest boy has his first sexual experience with a local girl.
It has a surprise ending, and the photography is beautiful. Watch it.
Movie Review: Pleasantly surprised
Summary: 5 Stars
This is a great film, and I think I will like it even more once I read the book. I agree with another viewer, that I think some of the characters need more explanation to understand them.
Daniel Radcliffe shines as Maps, the eldest orphan of the four boys. He brings both powerful emotion, and heartwarming scenes to the movie.
