A modest, not-quite-believable modern fable about coming of age, lost innocence and finding one's own way.

But [The Rainbow Kid] is not a light and gooey family film about how a boy with a disability teaches the able-bodied about life. It's something much smarter, much darker, and much more necessary.

I thought I had this film's number. Turns out it had mine.

Paputts runs into some problems with tone as the situations grow darker. But Harman's relaxed, naturalistic performance acts as a balm, and Christine Bougie's original music gives a touch of magic to the proceedings.
