Rating: Q=5, P=5 / Average OJ
Scale 1=2, Scale 2=3, Scale 3=3, Scale 5=2

Based on Book, 19th Century, Coming of Age, Bullying, School Drama

The classic book of boys, growing up, and values is wonderfully adapted in this film. I was captivated by the young actors' performances: emotional and realistic, sometimes painfully so. Tom Brown's School Days captures the complex struggle between doing what is difficult and right or what is expected of your peers. A very worthwhile viewing for any young person.
