one of spielberg's best of this century which kinda sucks because not allot of his films from the last 3 decades are good but i was pleasantly suprised by this.
its story is sweet, harry joel osmont and jude law are both great. they both are some of the best performances in a spielberg film imo.
i think the last 25 min are confusing a shit, while its a sweet ending, im still confused on why they chose for exactly that.
allot of times in spielberg films you can feel him and the script grasping for something to say but he never gets there.

How It Feels
Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.
A deeply unsettling meditation on what it means to belong, wrapped in the architecture of a fairy tale. Spielberg's film follows a robot boy's impossible yearning for genuine connection through a world that cannot accept him, building toward an ending that is both devastating and strangely transcendent.
