The Dust Factory (2004) Reviews
very genuine, young-adult fantasy
The Dust Factory is a very cute fantasy film that obviously comes from the heart. Young Ryan has been scarred by the death of his father, and no longer speaks. An accident transports him to a fantastic world called The Dust Factory, where Ryan regains his voice. He is soon reunited with his Grandpa, whose Alzheimer's keeps him from communicating in the real world. Ryan also meets the precocious Mel, an adorable tomboy who idolizes Peter Pan. The relationship between Mel and Ryan is the core of the film, with Grandpa providing sage advice. This film has very "indie" production values, but it is very ambitious for a small budget film, and the special effects come off well. The writer/director obviously wanted to tell this story, and hard work pays off in a very enjoyable independent fantasy film.
Good family movie with a deeper subject matter then most
My son and I really enjoyed this film. We went to this movie quite by accident - had never heard of it - but was rated PG! How rare is that in this day and age? The subject matter is deeper then most kids movies - the understanding of pain, losing people we love, and taking that pain to live life and love life to its fullest, not closing up to die. While this may sound like a downer it is not, the characters learn to embrace and recapture their lives in a very upbeat way. I think one user said sappy - true. But, personally, isn't it nice to watch a film that is uplifting and makes one think about life, and pain, and living - whether you are 9, like my son, or an adult? Also, this movie has a certain forgein film quality to it. In my opinion.
surprise movie
I just picked up this movie off the shelf because the title was interesting. I had never heard of it before. So I didn't know what to expect. It was really a surprise to find that it was good. We enjoyed it very much. The two main characters were very likable. I wish that they had gone into a little more detail of the circumstances of why they were at the factory but overall a good story about learning to deal with your fears and moving on with your life. In this world of the big movies with lots of action, drama, sex, it was very sweet. Great family movie with lots to discuss after it is over. Give it a try.
"The Dust Factory" an excellent, inspiring, family film!
"The Dust Factory" was for me one of the finest allegorical films about life, death, and loss, that I have ever seen. It presents this theme in a story that is entirely suitable for both children and adults. "The Dust Factory" is charmingly sentimental without being sappy, maudlin, or too scary for a younger audience. I applaud Eric Small's fine writing and direction. I appreciated and enjoyed this film more than I did "Finding Neverland," yet it only shows what a difference that a good distribution deal can make to insure a successful movie. While I read a consumer review of the film that said they saw it in a theater, I have also read that it went "direct to video." If the former is true, I don't understand why "The Dust Factory" didn't open and play to a larger audience? I recommend this film to any and all, and can only hope that Eric Small has a long career to continue following his dream and inner vision. Gary Myers BOCA PRODUCTIONS
i just watched this movie
This movie seriously was a great film. The writing and the performances turned in by the young cast were amazing, Working in the movie industry I do see a lot of films and this one was one of the best I have seen in a long time. This movie will probably never win an Oscar but for any sake it should. This movie will tug at you heart strings from the moment you meet the Melanie Character. This movie about the magic land between heaven and earth will really make you think about how you live your life and what you can do better. Hayden Panettiere and Ryan Kelley are a great pair and can actually make you believe this place is real. THe Grandfather Character played by Armin Mueller-Stahl is difficult to grasp why he is even in the picture until the "dust factory" is explained. I do happen to agree with the woman who said it has a foreign film quality to it it does and for once i happen to think it makes a positive effect on the movie.
