Jodie Foster makes her directorial debut and stars; along with Dianne Wiest; “Little Man Tate” in this “stirring and magnificent portrait of the human spirit” (The Hollywood Reporter)! Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd) is a gifted pianist; a math genius; an incredible artist…and he’s only seven years old. But this child prodigy is also adrift. Shunned by his peers and bored by his schoolwork; Fred is stifled by his environment. Desperate to encourage his potential; yet afraid he’ll miss out on a normal childhood; his single mom Dede (Foster) reluctantly allows a child psychologist (Wiest) to enroll Fred in a school for exceptional children. But when he’s rushed headlong into academia; Dede’s worst fears are realized – Fred is more isolated and alone than ever. And it’s up to Dede to become what little Freddy’s been looking for all along…a Mom. Harry Connick Jr.; David Hyde Pierce and Debi Mazar also star.
Little Man Tate
Jodie Foster is one of my favorite actresses, she lives the part . Good Movie.
I can’t imagine how lonely it is to have a mind so gifted and beyond comprehension to a regular person. It’s so sad and I can’t imagine how difficult it is for a parent to navigate, let alone a child.
Man, do I miss Jodi Foster’s work. She’s such an insanely talented actor and director.
Best movie I have seen in a while made me emotional but overall a very good movie
I absolutely loved this movie! ❤❤❤
Always wanted to see this… worked at block buster when it hit video… i would have made sure to see it had i know Herry was in it… Foster is one of a kind.. i e always loved her.
You ate w/o me..?! [We could have dessert..?] absolutely smooth criminal at age 7 XD
Watched this for the first time at 33 years old and I must say. Movies from this time just has that cinematic magic.
❤
Love Jodie foster
