Review of I Am Sam (2014) by Michael M — 14 Oct 2009
If you want to watch an underappreciated dramatic gem, this is a good one to pick off the shelf. Sean Penn is brilliant as the mentally challenged father Sam, Michelle Pfeiffer does a great job playing his reluctant pro bono lawyer, and Dakota Fanning burst onto the child star scene in this heart-rending tale of parental love.
The movie also features a unique soundtrack of Beatles covers, tying in with Sam's obsession with the band. Terrific tear-jerker.
