I have never seen this movie; it just seems so heartbreaking. I remember not being able to even watch the trailers on TV when it came out.

It's actually a very nice, quiet and touching movie. Leonardo gives a stupendous turn as a mentally challenged boy and Johnny is wonderful as his older brother. Everyone in the cast is marvelous. You should watch it. Just keep some Kleenex handy....

I just re-watched it last night. Hadn't seen it in years. She was magnificent- for her very first role she was able to portray the pain and anguish and also the dignity that she lived with. Such a sweet, sweet woman in real life.

Oh that scene where she goes to get Arnie was just heartbreaking!

Yes, it is sad. But, this is where she shows her dignity.
