| User ReviewFanny L No matter what anyone else states, that this movie is one of the best of each and every person in it, it takes a lot to move me and this movie did just that. It rates up there with I am Sam and Charly (1968) Cliff Robertson. Christopher Lambert whom many thought could only be Highlander, shows he can be much more... |
| User ReviewKaren MA friend of mine recently gave me the DVD of Gideon and I must say I was very surprised. No, there is no action, no car chases, no special effects. What it does have are wonderful performances and an interesting story. There are so few movies these days that make us think and take stock of our lives. It's nice to find a small film with a simple story, that is well acted. |
| User ReviewJason Wonderful! Wonderful! Wonderful! There should be more movies like "Gideon". A film that depends on great acting and a great story. It's the characters that make this flim and each actor does an excellent job of bringing them to life. |

| User ReviewStephen CGreat and sad movie that hardly anybody knows about. Check this one out for sure. Wish they would release it on DVD in the USA. Somebody from Italy said it was already released on DVD but that must be in Europe. I will hope for a USA release some day. |
| User ReviewKatarina Jbeautiful,sad drama with wonderful message within a song in the end |
| User ReviewLilo C Der Film hat was an sich, mann Macht sich sorgen über das Alt werden? Dann soltte man dieses Film sehen. Es wird liebe voll von einem Man erzählt, wobei geht es u.a auch über das Alt werden. Gideon ist zu Jung für einen Altersheim, aber er ist geistig zurück geblieben, verstossen von der Tante. Aber bald ändert sich sein Leben und genau so die des anderen als er in das Altersheim ankommt. Verschiedene Charaktere verköpern verschiedene Menschen in diesem Film, in den Man sich wieder spiegeln kann auch wenn man nicht so alt ist.

| User ReviewDavid MWhen I was the APOC on this movie, I remember the 2nd A.D. came into the office and complained that Charlton Hestion would not stop farting. |
| User ReviewArash XAlthought it's cliche & has undeniable resemblence to Being There but it's watchable & has its own good moments |
