A Christmas story. Charlie Gigot is a mute super at a dingy New York apartment building; he always wears a wool cap. One winter, a woman leaves her daughter Lou with Gigot, promising to be back the next day. Mom flakes out, and Gigot - who's down and out, probably with post-traumatic stress syndrome, has a drinking problem, and lives in a basement junk heap with a pet monkey - tries to find someone who will take Lou in. Winter gives way to spring; Gigot reluctantly becomes, in fits and starts, a parent. What if Lou's mom doesn't return; what are Charlie's options? His past may hold an answer.
Leave your thoughts about The Wool Cap.
| New York Magazine/VultureJohn LeonardMacy, who never says a word, is terrific, and the remake is better than the 1962 original, Gigot, in which an oversize Jackie Gleason tried to be Charlie Chaplin by starring in a story, set in Paris, that he had written for himself. |
| Reel Film ReviewsDavid Nusair...thoroughly engaging and utterly heartwarming from start to finish. |
| User ReviewSarah BHeart warming, funny, and a very good story. |
| User ReviewMarieBella CA dellightful retellling of the film Gigot in which Jackie Gleason starred. I saw the Gleason film as a child and I remember it had a profound effect on me. THis lacks htat dramatic depth, but is still a heartwarming story. |
| User ReviewKat GThis is such a good movie! It made me cry a few times. |
| User ReviewBrian Ca heartwarming story of how the actions of one man can impact the lives of many. |
| User ReviewAntony WKahden euron leffa, ei ois uskonut että näin hyvä. Päänäyttelijä on NIIN elämäänsä kyllästyny. Hienoa työtä. |
| User ReviewDonnamarie OThis Film is a Very Heart warm Story had me interested from start to finish There was certain parts in the Film that brought a tear to eye |
| User ReviewColin AIts awesome, its deep, its not for the main stream |
| User ReviewTorgeir BI can't really say anything better about this movie besides that it was the first straight up drama that has kept me interested from start to finish in probably the last hundred dramas I've seen. Not a boring lull in it and the lead doesn't even speak. |
