I bought this DVD as I like Mel Gibson. This is the first film Mel Gibson appeared in, portraying a mentally retarded young man. Many of today's films including those in which Mel stars often contain violence & strong language; so it was a refreshing change to see those aspects absent. Piper Laurie has the lead female role who employs him as a Gardener. It may seem dreary to some but it must be remembered as they say in the film,'He is a few pence short of a Quid'.
Disappointed. Author is a bourgeois. When a real author dabbles with a risqué subject, they and the reader have to enter no man's land, with no cover as it were. Here, we just get prurient moralising, a sickening concoction.

One of Mels first movies. What a good looking man he was. Plays a simple man, maybe today would be classed as autistic…such a nice, feel good movie.
