I saw this movie yesterday for the first time and I can honestly say that this is the most beautiful movie that I have ever seen. It really touched me. June 16, 2008

I saw "Powder" when it first came out. I was so moved by the movie because I really identified with Powder. I have felt most of my life like I did not fit in. He was not afraid to be who he was. Being different is not a bad thing; in fact, it is a very good thing in most cases. Powder portrayed a beautiful personality and also manifested so much love and understanding from his eyes. There is also a wonderful feeling of acceptance from Powder while all the while the people around him feared him. This is a movie that deals with energy... which we all are. It will continue to be in my top favorite movies of forever. June 11, 2008

The fact that the director had issues prior to movies production is unfortunate. This is one of the most fantastic movies, I will forever love. Made by Disney, the film is superbly done. The minute you begin watch you are taken to a small country town where an unusual boy lives. Ridiculed because of his looks, he has a strange power that allows him to be in touch with others thoughts. This movie will take you back to your childhood memories, you will be emotionally connected one way or another. The acting is superb. You wont be disappointed May 11, 2008

This is an incredible story about an albino boy who has a very eerie character; living a life of solitude, stark loneliness, feeling out of place in the world, and devoting a good portion of his childhood delving into complex reading material. The cinematography is stimulating. Very emotional, overall, but left me with a feeling of optimism. May 9, 2008

An interesting commentary on humanities acceptance, or lack there of, of those who are different. This has some aspects of the "paranormal" type movies, but is really much more of a social commentary.

Great movie for those who enjoy the classics. Don't watch this expecting the X-files though. April 17, 2008
