Review of Stand by Me (1986) by Gill L — 06 Oct 2013
One of my favourite movies of all time! All young actors who were somehow all able to take their characters and make them so real and in-depth. Every actor gave a fantastic performance and for the majority of the cast, I would consider the performances they gave in this film to be the best of their career.
River Phoenix in my opinion, stole the show and made you really feel for his character. Wil Wheaton was absolutely fantastic and in my opinion defined the coming of age aspect of this film through his performance.
Corey Feldman did a fantastic job as a supporting actor and brought a ton of humor into the film. Jerry O'Connell was hilarious in a way that was so innocent and seemingly unintentional. He brought innocence to a film that brought some heavy subjects into the lives of young boys.
Kiefer Sutherland was great as the antagonist as well. All around, it's a fantastic film that has stood the test of time. This classic is a must see!
