Review of Toto the Hero (1991) by Greg S — 29 Jan 2011

I checked this out because there was a video recently of possible Oscar contenders naming movies that made them cry, and this was Mark Ruffalo's pick. Well, it's a very good and original film from Belgium about a man who recalls his life growing up, believing he was switched at birth and didn't get the life he wanted.

At times it made me think of another film around the same time called Leolo about an imaginative boy. I preferred the scenes when the main character was a child, it had a lot more memorable moments during that period.

Overall though it's a very nice movie.
