katm-37105 This film is another example of an excellent play of John Cusack, who's a really professional actor. Here he plays the role of a widower, a writer, who wants to adopt the child, who's not like the others. He embodied the role of a single parent perfectly, though the film is a bit overextended, it is being watched easily. The plot is rather unusual, because there're not many films that show personalities of such children as Dennis and we know little of them. I think this film is about patience and stamina, because building a relationship with this kind of child wasn't easy for the character of John Cusack. The idea is that it can't be easy to be a parent, especially of an adopted child. It is thought provoking and sometimes touching, though it's a drama, there're no tragedies, that's why it's recommended to be watched in family.

ddianchiikk "Martian Child" is a kind of sweet and ultimately flavorless drama. The story is simple , David is a lonely widower, science fiction novelist makes the giant decision to adopt Dennis. A child who lives in a world of his own, he is very shy, he claims that he is from Mars and he hates the sun. But it is clear that he is simply a human boy in need of love. The most interesting aspect of this film is seeing the character of Dennis progression throughout the film , from a troubled boy to a happy kid , it was really well done. This film shows that all children need parental love. Although for me, this film seemed too sentimental , it is very touching . David's encouragement to Dennis "never, ever, ever, ever, ever, ever give up" is very heartwarming and inspiring. The main purpose of the film is to introduced us to two character , make us love them and see them grow together , their happy and difficult moments. I recommend this film. This is just another reminder for us that, all the children are the flowers of life.

lenakasatova I want to write a review on the film by Menno Meyjes "Martian Child". This film was shot in 2013. The main actors are John Cusack, Bobby Coleman, Amanda Peet, Sophie Okedo, Joan Cusack. The Genre is drama, family, comedy. The main idea of this film is the theme of adopted children and their relationship with new parents, as well as the theme of love and understanding of their children. The film is very close to problems of a real life. Many families in our time are forced to take children from the orphanage, but not all cope with their upbringing and accept them as relatives. This film caused me exclusively positive emotions. The film is suitable for family viewing and will be of interest to almost everyone. This is a very kind film. The director tells us a story about a young writer David, who has dreamed of a child for many years, but his beloved woman died, and they never manage to have a child. The tragedy of the loss of love pushes David to take a child from the orphanage. When he comes to an orphanage, he chooses an unusual child, a strange, problematic child. The boy's name is Dennis and he does not go out into the light sitting in a cardboard box during the day, he tells everyone that he is from Mars and sunlight can kill him. David takes responsibility to cope with the psychological problems of the boy and adopts him. He sees in him a native soul, the boy was once very badly injured, his soul hurts like the soul of the protagonist, which was injured by a huge loss. No one understands him, even his own sister. They do not understand why he needs such a burden and responsibility. Schools do not want such a child. Teachers assure that the child is not able to communicate with other children and steals their things. But David struggles to get inside Dennis's inner world and help him. In my opinion, the film is very exciting. It is filled with funny moments and moments, when you want to cry from happiness. Music corresponds to the content. The play of actors is great. There is the moment where the boy performs the dance with the music, this moment also causes only positive emotions. I recommend everyone to watch this movie. You can get together with the whole family and have a good time watching a wonderful soul movie. I want to review this movie again and again.

karina_k_a I like these movies. Easy, not very stressful, a bit tearful and with excellent actors. The film does not claim any artistic value. There is no huge and it is not clear what spending budget. Here the film is based on an incredible story, which, on the one hand, could happen to everyone, but on the other in its own original. It would seem - what can be original in the history of misunderstanding between the father and the adopted child? Such films have removed an incredible variety, and each new release the film has been sharply criticized, there are many unnecessary stamps, etc., the picture people, too, did not take a particularly solemn, and critics said about the movie is not very good. And many people trust the opinion of critics, refused to view this creation and, I think, has lost a great deal... This movie is something personal and intimate. The one who fully experienced the film, not understand why he is so good. No matter how people try to evaluate films objectively, a small slice of subjectivity will be present in their opinion. What I was saying - this film is aimed at certain subjects - persons who have place in life the same as with the heroes of the film and just sensitive and sentimental people. I can not be attributed neither to the first nor to the last of the above. I just like stories about strong and courageous people. The protagonist of the film - a writer of fiction novels - the soul, not understanding among themselves like. Yes, he is a successful writer and a lot of people are Curling around him, but they are "friends" only because of his popularity. More or less normal friends he can name only three people - a childhood friend, a fellow science fiction writer and his sister, but they hardly are the people with whom he is willing to spend the whole day. And he decides to adopt a child, but not simple, but very strange and toronados other, in which the writer soon finds what he was looking for - a true friend and understands how important a father in the life of any child... This story that holds the film is incredibly sensual and beautiful. The end, to be honest, even me, not a sentimental person, brought tears to the eyes and the smile on her face. It's just an amazing movie! In the picture, in addition to the suffocating history, we are shown, as it were, a lesson in how to learn to understand other people, unlike others. It's like an analysis of human relations - and that's the main charm of the film, highlighting it against the background of their own kind. In General, this incredibly sensual and piercing film is a must-watch, but I'm more than sure that like this picture is not many.
