Amazon.co.uk Review
Jodie Foster and Dianne Wiest star in Foster's engaging directorial debut, Little Man Tate. Single mother Dede Tate is doing her best to raise her brilliant-but-lonely son Fred on a waitress' salary. Jane Grierson (Wiest), something of an expert on being brilliant but lonely, spots Fred's genius and wants to enrol him in her school for the gifted.

A simple story, but very well told. Foster and Wiest both give excellent, sensitive performances, conveying the selfishness in each characters desire to have Fred to herself, as well as the pain in not being able to fulfil all his needs on her own. Adam Hann-Byrd gives a remarkable performance as Fred, showing his intelligence without getting precious about it. Foster demonstrates a steady directing hand, but the best moments are the more whimsical ones in which she reveals the quiet exhilaration of Fred's mental leaps, like when a pool game suddenly becomes a beautiful collision of lines and forces. --Ali Davis, Amazon.com

2.0 out of 5 stars Roll out the cliches, 8 Feb 2007
As the parent of a high-testing child, I hated this.

Fred is just sooo gifted - music, maths, poetry - he's Einstein! No, wait, he's Shakespeare! No, he's Mozart. And so of course, he's utterly friendless, as they were - except actually they weren't. Most 'gifted' children have lots of friends.

Wiest too is the cliched Lonely Genius. Sigh. All requiring blue-collar good sense....

And the idea the Dianne Wiest character voices - that genius learns wihtout effort - is utterly misleading. Mozaret and Shakespeare worked like hell, and so did Einstein. it's jsut that WHEN THEY worked, the results were astounding.

Most high-testing kids in Fred's circs learn to mask at a very early age. Mysteriously, Fred doesn't. Unless he's masking when he misdefines lepton, but I think that's the screenwriter.

This really doesn't cut it. It's touching, but it's cheap. Searching for Bobby Fischer was a lot better, because it showed hwo horrible parents and mentors can be to someone very clever. Best of all is Noi Tre. Give this a miss.

2.0 out of 5 stars Liked it up to a point., 6 Jan 2006
By A Customer
My wife and I agreed - the characters are too 2-dimensional, and the film is ultimately too "feel good." Glad we saw it on TV. Rent it before you buy it.
