Review by Library Journal Review

Before he made his mark in Hollywood with affecting character-driven dramas such as What's Eating Gilbert Grape and The Cider House Rules, Lasse Hallstr?m lovingly chronicled the ups and downs of young adolescence with this story of Ingemar, a 12-year-old boy sent to live with his uncle in the country when his mother becomes sick. Exquisitely rendered in a sparkling transfer, complete with a director interview, an early short film, and more, this film is heartily recommended for all collections. (c) Copyright 2010.
