Summary: 4 Stars
I recommend this movie to anyone who wants to get a glimpse into the recovery of an abused child. A child is in a delicate position of having a care-taker/abuser for a parent. This movie captures this concept and shows how the boy William tries as hard as he can to follow the mixed messages and outbursts from his mother. During his reprieve from abuse while living with Mr. Tom, some of his fears and conditioning from abuse come to light. It's a pity to have to see a child go through such abuses, and to see the post-trauma emerging in what should be everyday social happenstance. There is redemption for William, and I won't give it away here, but it's a happy moment. The ending is a bit anti-climactic, but still happy.
Movie Review: Goodnight Mr Tom
Summary: 4 Stars
This is a great story for older children. I used it with a class of 11 - 13 year olds where we read the book first and then did a movie study. The story follows a period of time during WW2 in England when evacuees were sent from London to the country. This story is complex because it covers many levels; War, child abuse, mental health, death, friendships and relationships.
The movie is well acted, although my class was disappointed that some of the 'book bits' were missing.
Be sure to have tissues for laugh out loud fun as well as sad tears!
