Are you looking for something different to do with your kids during school vacation week? The independently produced film, "Little Boy" is coming to AMC Burlington on Thursday, April 23! Details and a link for seat reservations are below. Please pass it on!
Two very generous benefactors bought out the AMC Burlington theater (ten screens, 700+ seats) for a LITTLE BOY pre-premiere event on Thursday, April 23rd at 7:00 pm. The film opens on April 24th.
Cardinal O'Malley pre-screened the film, and his blog review excerpt is below. The Globe is going to do a story about one of the benefactors- Sword and Spoon - based in Lexington, which works to highlight the intersection of business and culture.
Cardinal Sean's blog review of the film:
Finally, this week I was given the opportunity to screen the film Little Boy, which I found very moving. The film is about a family during World War II. It speaks of the havoc that the war wreaked on this family, but also the importance of faith and works of mercy. I particularly liked the two priests in the film (played by Eduardo Verástegui and Tom Wilkinson) who are portrayed in a very positive and pastoral way. For example, in the film they help the people overcome their fear and prejudice against Japanese Americans.
It has a wonderful message and I feel it’s the kind of film that anyone in the family would enjoy. Unfortunately, when independent films like this are made they often don’t have the same kind of advertising budgets that big studio films have, so it’s up to us to spread the word— and this is a film with a message that deserves to be spread.
