Jodie Foster's first experiment as an actress-director will not be extraordinary, but it will be acceptable enough. The story of a single mother and her efforts to support her genius son has enough to connect with the viewer, and that is what makes it valid.

Very likable. A nice little emotional number. A bite size movie; small in the sense that it keeps its subject matter contained in a pleasantly accessible place (Did that sound blowhardy? I’m pretty sure it’ll make sense though if you see the movie ??). Jodie Foster’s great! (Director and Cast) Is she underrated overall? I’ll have to check the internet on that one, but I think she might be. SPOILER ALERT: My only complaint is that H____ C______ J_ wasn’t at the birthday party. Happy viewer!
