I wasn't old enough to see R-rated movies on my own in the theater when this came out, so I had to sit through it with my mom the first time. The things young cinephiles must go through...

Can't say this totally hits for me the way it does for other people, but the sweeter moments of simple connection at the end, Timmy's radiant performance (child-like and childish in equal measure), and that perfect perfect monologue end up bringing me close enough.
