Is Anybody There?

"It's a testament to Michael Caine that Is Anybody There?, a squishy drama about the friendship between an unhappy young boy and a regretful old man, is even sporadically palatable." - Nick Schager

Caine is fantastic.

Not the greatest film, but Michael Caine really shines (like always)!

Another British dramedy, Caine does well considering what he's given.

Top badass moment? Edward trying to help Clarence to 'remember' by taking him to the grave of his ex-wife. Okay, so Edward is one of those amazing 10 year olds that only exist in films, but it's still a nice thing to try and do. Helping old people is always badass. Most people consider them a burden; (yes you do, admit it). I'm not going to get old, it sucks totally. 1 cat and 0 decapitations.

A not-to-be-missed coming of age treasure. Not only is it funny and moving and heartfelt, but it features excellent, honest acting and is an early 80's period piece to boot. Further, we finally have a film that highlights nursing/old age homes in an honest light. It's darn hard to find fault with this one.

Hello to David Morrissey. Well I wasn't expecting to laugh quite as much given the subject matter. Not to say this is a feel good comedy, it's actually really good. The rest of the cast you know but the kid from Son of Rambow? Got a big future ahead of him at this rate

Caine saves the day.

Beuatifully shot, with a really nostalgic look. Caine is superb. Soundtrack is excellent and subtle. At times heartbreaking and heartlifting, but always touching. Very recommended.
