I’m one of the few people not blown away with the precocious, hammy performance of little Hallie Kate Eisenberg in all those Pepsi commercials. Perhaps that’s what surprised me the most about the incredible retelling of Helen Keller’s early years. Little Ms. Eisenberg gives a full dimensional and completely compelling performance as a deaf, mute, and blind child. But then, director Nadia Tass has brought out perceptive and engaging portrayals from all her gifted cast. The script only looks at the beginning of Helen Keller and Annie Sullivan’s association. Both would go on to impact the world they lived in. Hopefully, a sequel will reveal the Christian stance Keller took and show how these two women brought compassion and understanding to a world that feared those with physical handicaps.
