Driven by intelligent, constantly surprising and moving performances from the film's leads, Dear Frankie stars Emily Mortimer (Lovely and Amazing) as Lizzie, Scottish mother of Frankie (Jack McElhone), a deaf and highly intelligent 9-year-old. Constantly uprooting themselves and relocating from town to town, Lizzie and Frankie are on the run from the latter's abusive father, a fact unknown to the boy, who believes his dad is a busy seaman sending letters full of adventure and love. In fact, Lizzie is writing those missives, but she is faced with a challenge when Frankie discovers his father's ship will dock nearby. Lizzie hires a kind, handsome stranger (Gerard Butler) to play Frankie's dad, creating an odd situation in which ever-growing lies become a conduit for love, and Lizzie's repressed desires come to the fore with a man posing as her husband. The moral tangles are of interest in director Shona Auerbach's charmingly paced, quietly insightful drama-comedy, but so is the glorious feeling of watching these characters come fully alive. --Tom Keogh

I was surprised how much I liked this movie. I was expecting your typical romance movie. It has so much depth and substance. Well worth it!

Susan Nido (San Diego, CA USA)
This movie is really good, Gerard Butler is in it so that's a plus, but its not just one of those movies that is good because a hot guy is in it. The actors do a really good job of portraying the characters and they all come together quite well, I admit I shed a tear or two, but only for a second, its a good one.

This is probably the most surprisingly emotional movie I have ever seen. It caught me off guard the first time I saw it, but I still get that same feeling after many viewings...and appreciate the acting more each time.
