He deserved an Oscar nomination


The kid who played Mister (Skylan Brooks) turned in a better performance than most people who get nominations. Same for the kid who played Pete, but the kid playing Mister made the movie as good as it was. Great film.

I agree. I cried so much during this movie. They gave seller performances. Both kids.

reply

Agreed! I can't believe this film did not earn more awards and nominations than it did. Mister was played heart-wrenchingly well.

I couldn't decide if he was really good or just over acting/annoying, the kid playing Pete was brilliant though

reply

He's a teen in a hopeless situation.. There was definitely no overacting..

reply

he is, but I don't know if that always equals there was no overacting, just because of that situation, I'll give it another watch sometime

reply

Well, true it doesn't equal that.. I just watched the film 30 minutes ago.. Again, and I personally think his acting was very natural, as was Pete's..
