Movie Description
Peter O'Fallon's heartwarming drama tells the uplifting story of an unlikely friendship between an emotionally scarred young boy and a mournful older woman. Twelve-year-old James Neubauer (Trevor Morgan) has never fully healed from the traumatic loss of his mother in a car accident. His father (Ray Liotta) has chosen to pretend it never happened, throwing himself headlong into work and a new life with James' stepmother (Catherine McCormack). For these reasons, James harbors a deep resentment for his father. The only friend he has is his quirky Uncle Charlie (Ron Livingston), but even Charlie is unable to provide the consolation James needs. Salvation miraculously arrives in the form of Maddy Bennett (Vanessa Redgrave), a local recluse who is still healing from a great loss of her own. When James accidentally breaks Maddy's fence, she demands that he fix it himself. What is initially a defensive, stubborn battle of egos slowly changes into an extremely close relationship that crosses all boundaries and helps both James and Maddy to confront and conquer their demons. Filmed with sensitivity, A RUMOR OF ANGELS boasts beautiful scenery, inspiring music by Mozart, and yet another unforgettable performance by the legendary Redgrave.
Industry Reviews
"...Uplifting....Liotta is effectively understated....Redgrave is believable....ANGELS is a spiritual exploration of sorts, offering a message of hope that resonates..."
USA Today - Mike Clark (02/01/2002)
"...The movie works because of the first-rate performances by newcomer Trevor Morgan and veteran Vanessa Redgrave. Both of them play their parts with abrasive toughness rather than sentimentality..."
Movieline - Stephen Farber (02/01/2002)
"...It's always a treat to watch Redgrave..."
Los Angeles Times - John Anderson (02/01/2002)
