Excellent, Without a doubt!!

Fanciful, disturbing, and wildly original, it announces the arrival of a fresh, bold voice in American cinema.

One of the most extraordinary films you will see this year. Take that as you want.

The movie came to me as a surprise, I did not expect it to be that good. The movie is about a boy who managed to escape from a concentration camp and instructed to travel Denmark. On the way, he met different people and learn to trust.There are good and bad people in the world. Because of bad people, we should not be wasting our lives thinking about them. We should move on and let people in. I loved the kid's acting, it's simple and engaging.

Honestly, this is the best movie I have seen in ages ! The settings were beautiful. Reminded me of the sheer beauty of the Kiera Knightley version of Pride and Prejudice. The acting throughout was tremendous. The adaptation of the book was craftily done.I loved the young man playing the part of David. His actions and facial expressions were a delight.My favorite part in the movie was the interaction between David and Sophie. This movie is so wonderful it is hard to point out individual accomplishments from within it, but the actress playing Sophie ( Jane Plowright ) was my favorite.Anyone who has not seen this movie should. I cried throughout. A great story and superbly done. I could not rate this movie any higher!!! Bravo !!

I watched this movie twice now and both times I missed the beginning. But the rest of what I saw was so heartwarming that I will keep looking for it to see it in it's entirety. My heart was traveling right along with young David. I felt his pain and his desire to share everything with Sophie. Since it wasn't part of the storyline, I decided to think that when David met up with his mom, the two of them traveled back to see his adopted "Grandma Sophie" who had been so touched by this young man as well. How refreshing to see such high quality work on a movie that isn't centered around obvious violence for any length of time but just enough for you to appreciate David's life, and not filled with sex and foul language. What a joy! What a winning story!

In 1952, the polyglot twelve year-old David (Ben Tibber), who was raised in the Communist Belene Prison Camp in Bulgaria, witnesses the death of his friend and protector Johannes (Jim Caviezel) and escapes from the concentration camp in the night. He is advised to mistrust everybody and together with a piece of bread, a compass, a piece of soap, a jackknife and a sealed envelope to be delivered in Denmark, he travels though Greece and Italy heading North. Along his journey, David discovers the beauty of the world and slowly he changes his behavior with people. When he meets Sophie (Joan Plowright), an old lady that lives in Switzerland and likes to paint as hobby, she asks David to paint his face; later she invites David to have lunch with her in her house, and David finally discloses his quest to her."I Am David" is a magnificent journey to the goodness of people. The expressive Ben Tibber has a stunning performance in the role of the boy David, who was raised confined in a concentration camp and surrounded by cruelties, that begins to smile and trust people along his travel through Europe. It is amazing how this young actor is able to transmit these sensations and emotions through his face and eyes. Joan Plowright performs a wise old woman that teaches David that most of the people are good and opens his heart. The direction, performances, cinematography, locations, pace, message etc., everything works perfectly in this great movie. Last but not the least, the conclusion is heartbreaking. My vote is nine.Title (Brazil): Not Available
