Customer Reviews of King of the Hill
An excellent film! This is one on the finest films I have ever seen. And I am sure that many people can relate to the movie. Jesse Bradford does an excellent performance, and it's a shame that this film has not been given greater recognition.
An overlooked gem
Steven Sodebergh has had his ups and downs as a director, and now he is on the upswing again with his recent successes, "Out of Sight" and "Erin Brockovich". Sodebergh's best film, however, is the less acknowledged "King of the Hill". Released in 1993, it got lost amongst the many great films that came out that year like "Schindler's List", "The Piano" and "The Age of Innocence". But this film, in my opinion, is among the best films released in the '90's.
The film stars Jesse Bradford, in a brilliant, commanding performance, as a resourceful child who must make his own way in Depression-era St. Louis. The film successfully depicts the hopes and fears of children, and unlike other films about children, portrays its hero as intelligent and responsible.
"Out of Sight" may be more stylistically dazzling and "Erin Brockovich" may have more star power, but "King of the Hill" radiates with the power of a film passionately made.
A Surprising Gem
One of the more overlooked Steven Soderbergh movies, but perhaps one of the best, this little film wisely portrays an appealing and poignant coming-of-age story in a late-twenties America. Although the plot brings nothing new, this movie is still very well-crafted, suceeding in every element. The acting is uniformely great, the score is compelling, the directing is captivating and the colour texture of the scenes is memmorable. Soderbergh manages to tell a bitersweet tale, both funny and sad, remaining believable and true-to-life from beginning to end. The last scene in particular is an excellent mix between hapiness and melancholy, providing and adequate ambiguous resolution. Jesse Bradford is excellent as the confused smart kid in trouble, offering an honest and very convincing performance. Frankly, I think this movie is much better than some overrated films ..., the more well-known titles that turned Soderbergh into a big name director.
A solid cinematic experience.
