I remember this movie. You sum up the conflict well. It's not easy. What is the best interest of a child?

Nice review, @kemmyb. I agree. The movie is well worth watching.

What is the best interest of a child?

I believe providing the most stable and loving environment for a child (especially a gifted one) is very important to their physical and mental well-being. Mary in this film had these with her uncle, regardless of what the court and her grandmother thought. Yes, the uncle had no insurance and some minor issues but they are things the court could enforce rather than tear the poor girl away from the home she'd ever known to live with strangers.

It's a touching film and I like the way it ended! 😊 Thanks so much for your visit and apologies for the late reply. I hope you're doing okay. Have a relaxing Sunday. !PIMP

In my community, everybody thinks their child is 'gifted'. It'S like an epidemic :)) Everybody wants special treatment. It's sometimes true. But then the question arises, keep the kid with its peers or place the kid with older children? Or, as some do, remove the kid from school and give him/her individualized instruction. It really isn't easy. But nothing about raising kids is easy. It's as you say, keep the child happy today, and tomorrow will work out. Nothing good comes from having an unhappy child.

Agreed, every child is gifted. And I'm with Frank (Chris Evans) on this — every child deserves a normal childhood, surrounded by their peers. Even if their IQ is unusually high, their hearts know they are young and should live like so! I was mostly affected by the act of separating Mary from Frank. 😄
