Review of The Odd Life of Timothy Green (2012) by Matthew L — 25 Sep 2014

I'm impressed by the story originally by Ahmet Zappa and also the directors, writers and most importantly CJ Adams. A wonderful kid with such a great sense of emotions and displaying the feelings, pain and sacrifice of Timothy Green.

The film touched me right into the heart. I appreciate the dramatization of the parents by Jennifer Garden and Joel Edgerton. However, there is a lack of something in the role of the parents and seemed incomplete to me.

Odeya Rush did a very good job of a teenage girl who understands the abnormality or rather the gift of god to the special ones. I thought she would be a bully but turned out to be a sweet soft girl. It really made me cry when Timothy told Joni that he's going far away from her and she couldn't believe it. Spending time with someone so much and when you know you're loosing the, it is a great deal of pain.

It was a great movie and I would never watch it again in my life because I will remember each and every part of it. And I would only see it again when I have a child of my own and tell them "'Look son, that's the kind of movies which were made back then!''.

I give this movie a 4 out of 5 rating. I would have given 5 stars but one star goes away for the lack of complete script and lack of showing the character the way it supposed to have been. A kudos to each and every person who worked hard to make this film so wonderful.
