    I love a movie that breaks my heart wide open and allows me to feel to the depth of my soul- haven't felt this emotionally wrung out in a long time---and that's a great thing for a movie!! I wish they made more movies like this.

  1. This autobiographical tale of a 10-year-old boy coping with his mother's severe illness boasts terrific performances from its three leads -- Joe Pantoliano, Marcia Gay Harden and young Devon Gearhart.

    First-rate performances, an uncompromising point of view and a fresh take on a well-worn movie subject -- madness.

    Greco's sincerity is so palpable that the frequent uplift feels deserved, but with just-passable filmmaking and the demeaning score, Canvas falls somewhere between powerful indie and made-for-TV diversion.
