Product Description
When Bobby Garfield (David Morse--The Green Mile) returns to his hometown for the funeral of a boyhood friend, he recalls the magical summer of 1960... That summer a lodger (Academy Award winner Anthony Hopkins--Nixon, Shadowlands) moves into eleven-year-old Bobby's house. A special bond grows between the mysterious, kindhearted lodger and the fatherless boy. But the lodger comes with a haunted past ... and strange powers that puzzle and alarm the impressionable boy. And in the few short weeks the lodger stays in his house, the way Bobby sees the world changes forever.

- Reviewed in the United States on December 15, 2024Its nice to see Hopkins playing the "hero" rather than the villain, he is quite good at it.
This is a wonderful story... I am not sure why I liked it so much... perhaps its a view of being a young man and the difference between honesty and lies... or maby its the fairy story of young love....
Anyway, it prompted me to get the book, which is available on Kindle.
Its wonderful to see good work like this... especially in these times.
- Reviewed in the United States on January 4, 2025What an awesome movie. I'll watch it over and over.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 25, 2024I so enjoyed this movie and wish there were more like it.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2024Did not see where this movie was going, followed Hopkins through the story, absolutely incredible.
Bespeaks well of human nature and our behavior.
Children know more than most will ever realize, fantastic.
- Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2015Anthony Hopkins is always good and this is no exception.
However, the novel is quite complex, with several inter-related sections all tied to the central idea.
That idea is not easy to grasp, even after finishing all the parts. The action centers around a group of people who come in contact with each other and are all tremendously changed by the experiences.
The novel title refers to, I think, the idea of the sixties, that it was a time of overwhelming change, with hopes of changing the political spectrum, but that is not so easy to do. It requires a change of heart of the entire population, and such things are not easily transmitted, or even accepted as beneficial.
It is tragic in many respects as the story of a loss of hope.
Our hearts may still be in Atlantis, the sixties, the time of immense promise, but when we confront the reality that the era has spawned, we are necessarily left longing, but our hope is essentially gone and we're left to live out our lives with what we have left of the dream, sadly, not much.
The book is stirring, evocative, well crafted. It does contain some fantasy elements, but they are essential to the tone of the story, the theme of abandonment of those fantastical elements that help to spur hope, but promise its defeat in the end.
The book will move you, perhaps to tears, but the movie is like the Cliff's Notes (Spark Notes) version of the novel, leaving out 4/5 of what makes it so appealing as a story. Some things that were kept are completely inexplicable because so much else is left out, making the eventual story muddled and confusing. It is still affecting, but loses much of that effect from the editing/adaptation.
It is only LOOSELY based on the book, to the movie's detriment.
However, if it spurs you to READ the book, you will be so enriched you will not regret this "introduction" to hope promised and then unfulfilled.
A tremendous book, a middle of the pack movie.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2024Wonderful movie.

- Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2020This is an exquisite, polished, gem of a movie, thanks in part to Anthony Hopkins' reliably first rate acting, as well as those in the supporting roles. Hearts in Atlantis is the best movie I have seen this year and right up there with the best of the best in my own movie-rating book. The plot is eccentric and off-beat. The movie has heart and soul and it would be wrong not to say that Anthony Hopkins' acting and the role with which he gave his usual all WAS the movie. If you like Hopkins, this is for you. If you like period pieces of the late 50's and early 60's this is for you, too. The single criticism that I have of the movie (and it is not a deal-breaker) is that there were serious problems with continuity. The music, the Schwinn Typhoon bicycle, the baseball glove and above all the cars place the time around 1959. The "low men" (FBI agents) drove brand-new 1959 Chevrolets. So that ought to place it chronologically for you. However mention was made of Nixon's election, which was years ahead of every other indicator of time in this movie. At one point near the beginning a very new 1949 Chevy Deluxe was parked in front of the house with a matching late 40's man's hat on the seat. But this movie had to have taken place no earlier than 1959 and could not have been much later than the early 60's due to the style of clothing that was
being worn. But, despite these annoyances to someone (me) who lived through the entire 50's and 60's, this movie does rock, but in a very quiet, understated way. It is a drama, it involves love--but platonic love and lots of human kindness. It has an element of the supernatural to it, also.
Aside from the continuity problem, I stick to my "exquisite, polished-gem of a movie" description and will further state that all the main actors were wonderfully cast and extremely talented.

Articolo perfetto con Audio italiano
John LudlamReviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 20235.0 out of 5 stars Gentle, heartwarming, mystical.
Gentle, but fascinating story. A great adaptation of a Stephen King story.
Anthony Hopkins is superb as always with the young cast matching him!
A heartwarming film, with a mystical twist at the heart of it.
Highly recommended.

Extraña película en que las relaciones van más allá de lo superficial, más allá de las primeras impresiones.
La adolescencia desde un punto de vista muy particular.
