Entertainment Reviews:
Rolling Stone - 10/31/1991
"...LITTLE MAN TATE is passionately involving, and Foster's directing is as sharply intuitive as her acting..."
Sight and Sound - 02/01/1992
"...A thoughtful first film with an idiosyncratic style that successfully captures a child's memory of one year of his life..."
Los Angeles Times - 10/18/1991
"...Dianne Wiest is immensely sympathetic....P.J. Ochlan is very funny....Hann-Byrd has the requisite young-old look, and it's believable that he's as bright as the film makes him out to be..."
Product Description:
Seven-year-old genius Fred is desperate to fit in with other kids. Recognizing his talents, his mom (and best friend) Dede enrolls him in a school for gifted children, where Fred befriends a teacher who offers him opportunities his mother cannot. Dede must choose between possibly losing her son or compromising his education.
Plot Synopsis:
Fred, a seven-year-old art, music and math prodigy, is ostracized by his classmates who view him as something of a freak. His only companion is his warm-hearted, working-class mom. A single woman raising her son alone, she has neither the money nor the education to nurture her son's gift. Invited to attend a summer college course, Fred goes to live with a child psychologist and teacher who has taken an interest in him. Though the woman is excited by Fred's genius, she is unable to provide him with the loving, emotionally supportive environment he found at home.
