Benji had a loving mother, grandmother, and a future step dad, a nice home, teachers who cared about him. He didn't see any of his blessings. So sad. This young actor Larry B. Scott should have gotten an Oscar his performance he was brilliant.

[@deewood5127]

Because he lacked self-esteem due to the abandonment of his biological father...

[@sportinlife1]

Absolutely an Oscar worthy performance 🙌

What an incredible creative decision using a black & white still frame photo montage showing Benjie in his treatment journey instead of actual filming, it was poetic with every picture giving such full context. Amazing.

[@kidmack3556]

That's the best I've ever seen that done. I am recommending this film to my two shutterbug friends because of those sequences.

[@markymarcb4932]

Outstanding performance by all cast members and extremely convincing by young Larry B Scott. This film was actually very smart and sharply directed. They should make this mandatory viewing in middle school and up.

Me too

[@TheKitchenerLeslie]

We have seen more of him... he was on Barney Miller, Revenge of the Nerds, Fear of a Black Hat... he's so good, you don't realize it's the same guy. He's already a legend based only on "Clap your hands everybody, everybody clap your hands!" Fear of a Black Hat is like a black version of This is Spinal Tap... it's really funny!

I Loved this Movie! What a Powerful Realistic, and Poignant Film! So intensive Rolls! All the Actors were Spot-On! I'm such a avid fan for Cicely Tyson! This one was Absolutely over the Top Great! Surely a Classic! Sad, True, and so Realistic! I came from a very Dysfunctional Family Lifestyle, but Luckily I Didn't go down that path of NO RETURN! Three siblings are Dead because of it!😢, they think they're only hurting themselves! "They don't Hurt Now"! The rest suffer with the Loss of a loved one! This Movie was Superb in every aspect!

Benjie almost gave me a heart attack there. For a minute he had me fooled talking all sensitive to his step dad. So much love he gets, he still cannot feel it.
