Despite bracingly peculiar premise and astonishingly fine perf from Gary Oldman, pic is an honorable failure.

Reviews for Tiptoes
...never quite becomes as bad as it sounds, primarily thanks to the expectedly stellar performances.
Sanctimonious and maudlin, playing like an educational film on dwarfism.
As belas performances de todo o elenco (especialmente de McConaughey) enriquecem este drama intimista sobre um homem em conflito com seus próprios genes.
