Dove Review

Does life exist from other planets? This movie makes a statement about caring for those who are different. A young child, called “Mitten” in the movie, looks very different and is taken for an alien as one local lab researcher attempts a hoax. He plans to pass Mitten off as an alien from another planet and even works it out to convince people a UFO was spotted. All of this is devised to fraudulently raise funds. A woman named Grace comes across Mitten and cares for her, and tries to protect her. Lindy Fay does a terrific job as Grace and James R. Johnson also turns in a nice performance as Brian, the man who helps her find Mitten after she is kidnapped.

The film lacks great production values, but the make-up job on Mitten is nicely done and the writer makes a good and valid point about the treatment of people who aren’t exactly like us.The music is also very good. The scene of little Mitten clutching a teddy bear will stay with the audience. We are glad to award our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal to this film.
