I loved every moment of this film. I have studied films for 20 years and as I watched WTWTA I was in awe. I think this is the most powerful story about a child that I have seen in years, and would recommend it to anyone with a sense of imagination.
Do not take these negative reviews to heart. Anyone who cannot love this film cannot find the child inside themselves. See this movie, in the theatre or at home, hopefully with a kid.
