Review of Powder (1995) by Enrique H — 05 Apr 2009

This is a wonderful tale of a young boy who is different from all of us and because people see him as different, they automatically think he is deviant. The boy is discovered when his grandparents die.

A social worker and cop come to "rescue" him and take him elsewhere. He is a boy of extraordinary talent and a great heart. He tries to fit in at school, helps the cop, and falls in love with a girl.

It's a very touching story. A must see film.
