Hearts in Atlantis

USA 2001, 92 minutes
Dir. Scott Hicks
Rating: [M]
Genres: Drama / Paranorma

Feat. Anthony Hopkins, Anton Yelchin, Hope Davis

Aroview: Muted elegy for lost smalltown adolescence from the pen of Stephen King, that like STAND BY ME casts shadows of unease over its nostalgia.

Fatherless 11-yr old Anton Yelchin gains an unusual friend in mysterious boarder Anthony Hopkins, whose psychic gifts (shared by the boy) spell a paranoid fear of threatening, archetypal ‘Low Men’. Relying primarily on the slow powers of atmosphere, this may provoke a bit of a ponder in some, itchiness in others.

I find this review offensive! I don’t agree with this review. I agree with this review.
3 stars (Good Enough) A growing-up story that captures its period pretty well. The casting of Anthony Hopkins certainly helps as does the easy on the eye photography and soundtrack. ~Tubbs
