Little Man Tate 1991 —
Well made film about a very gifted 7 year old genius prodigy who is involved in a tug of war between his financially struggling single mom (Jodi Foster) and a controlling gifted school director (Diane Wiest) who believes the mom is a terrible influence on the child and not capable of giving the child the intellectual stimulation he must have.The film takes on several issues in a very honest, direct way thanks to a good script by Scott Frank, and solid direction by Jodi Foster. Since some of the subject matter relates to Jodi's own childhood, she has a real feel for the material and it shows.
The acting is particularly strong from all the supporting characters and the film avoids being too sentimental or cute.
Little Man Tate 1991 Directed by Jodi Foster
