An imaginative and somewhat alienated young girl
befriends a retarded man who stops at her mother's hotel en route to a home for the
mentally ill. With Kevin Bacon, Evan Rachel Wood, Mary Stuart Masterson, Cathy Moriarty
and Marian Seldes. [1:38]
SEX/NUDITY 2 - A little sexual innuendo. A couple hugs and kisses each
other. We see a woman pulling her shirt closed and a shirtless man lying in bed in the
background.
VIOLENCE/GORE 2 - We learn a woman died and later see her overturned car in
a ditch. A girl pushes a woman and a girl and woman slap each other. A woman punches a man
repeatedly and the man pins her to the ground (we later see her arm in a sling).
PROFANITY 0 - None. [profanity glossary]
DISCUSSION TOPICS - Retardation, friendship, death of a parent, alienation,
imagination.

A CAVEAT: We've gone through several editorial changes since we started covering films in 1992 and some of our early standards were not as stringent as they are now. We therefore need to revisit many older reviews, especially those written prior to 1998 or so; please keep this in mind if you're consulting a review from that period. While we plan to revisit and correct older reviews our resources are limited and it is a slow, time-consuming process. |
