Review of Dear Frankie (2004) by Yoli G — 08 Jun 2009
The movie Dear Frankie was a wonderful story about a boy with a hearing disorder. The actor who portrayed him did an amazing job communicating without words, his needs and longing for his father. Emily Mortimer, who played his mother in a passionate performance, attempted to protect her son from the truth about his absent father. I enjoyed Gerard Butler's performance as the Stranger. This part for him was a different role from the action movies characters he played previously and as the bad guy in the Phantom of the Opera. He brought a hopeful quality to the Stranger role.
And makes you wonder what will happen with the three characters. The movie starts out a little slow but turns into a fantastic, heart warming experience. The beauty of Scotland can be viewed in its landscape shots of Glasgow. Simply beautiful.
