Customer Reviews of Digger
Underrated gem with brilliant performance by Jackson "Digger" is one of those movies that somehow miraculously gets made against all the odds. It is haunting, intelligent, beautifully filmed, slow-paced, and spiritual. Most contemporary audience members are likely to go to sleep while trying to view this film, if they even know that it exists. The other 5% of its audience are in for a deep experience that soaks in slowly.
It is the story of a pair of best friends, and the wisdom that the older boy shares with the younger, which changes him forever. Joshua Jackson delivers one of the finest performances by a young actor in the 90s. He plays "Billy" as if he were the reincarnation of an ancient Native American shaman (complete with an owl familiar). It is a tour de force, of the same calibre as Osment's work in "The Sixth Sense" and "A.I."
This film is for fans of Katherine Paterson's novels, "The Cure" (1995, directed by Peter Horton), and quiet, muted masterpieces that reveal themselves over time. Bonus points for the beautiful scenery of the island (Brentwood Bay, B.C.), a fine score featuring the lovely instrumental talents of Darol Anger and Bill Douglas, and the presence of the magnificent Olympia Dukakis.
Disappointed!
I thought this movie would be pretty good based on the very capable cast of characters, but I found it to be actually very boring. Absolutely nothing happens here, except of course at the end where the sick boy finally (predictably) dies. There is no plot, no action, nothing. There are some weird paranormal parts in the movie, too, which did nothing but serve to confuse me. For instance, there's a cliff scene where the boys supposedly jumped off and started to fly, but I have no idea what that was in there for or what it was supposed to mean. This is the first and last Rob Turner film I'm going to see ever.
Extremely Good Movie
I agree with everyone that said JOSH JACKSON was awesome. Hes the worlds best actor and im his #1 fan. Im looking foward to seeing more movies with him in it cause there automatically a 5 star movie.
