A poignant tale of unconditional love. Sean Penn as a mentally challenged father fighting for the custody of his daughter, played by Dakota Fanning
Its not the plot, its the emotions that take centre stage here. They have been dealt with so delicately, that you can't help feel for the father who realizes that his 6 year old daughter is mentally superior to him. Even more anguished is the motherless kid who has to face embarrassment at the hands of her classmates, realizing the sad way, that her father is not capable of taking care of her. The beautiful father daughter relationship is the heart of the story as it meanders through rough times for both.
Sean Penn is beyond words in his portrayal and aptly earns himself a beat actor nomination. Ably supported by Dakota Fanning and Michele Pfieffer, in a crucial role, this movie will move the toughest of hearts.
