While it carries some strong performances, the script and direction (by actress Diane Keaton) are far from superior.

Very sweet and touching. Love the cast, but not the acting. It wasn't horrible, but it was a bit too dramatic.

My all-time-fav movie, the caring and friendship offered by two decent and compassionate sibling teenagers transforms a severely abused and neglected hearing-impaired girl into a beautiful young woman.
