| Mine: |
Enjoyable, if sometimes self rightous, drama. Jodie and Harry are very good. Great score.

| Leonard Maltin/Plot synopsis: |
Moving, extraordinarily empathic look at a child genius; his single, working-class mom (Foster) can't give him the support and stimulation he needs--but neither can the director (Wiest) of a school for exceptional children who takes him under her wing. Beautifully realized by Foster in her directing debut; her performance is equally strong. Bittersweet screenplay by Scott Frank; solid jazz score by Mark Isham. Bob Balaban appears unbilled as a quizmaster.
