FeistyUpper If you don't like this, we can't be friends.
Borserie it is finally so absorbing because it plays like a lyrical road odyssey that’s also a detective story.
WillSushyMedia This movie was so-so. It had it's moments, but wasn't the greatest.
Ariella Broughton It is neither dumb nor smart enough to be fun, and spends way too much time with its boring human characters.
coprogirl Documentary filmmaker Melody Gilbert has created a small gem of a film about a rare congenital disease known as congenital analgesia. Only about a hundred people worldwide are known to have this diagnosis. People with this disorder can feel no pain, and are prone to numerous injuries and accidents that can be disfiguring as well as lethal.The film tells the story of Three-year-old Gabby from Minnesota, 7-year-old Miriam from Norway and 10-year-old Jamilah from Germany. Their stories are told with unflinching truthfulness and a deliberate lack of sentimentality. The courage of the girls and their families in spite of their great difficulties is truly uplifting.The movie was easy to watch, it seemed to end too soon. It would be nice to see a sequel on how these delightful girls are doing in a few years.
