Cubussoli Very very predictable, including the post credit scene !!!

Solemplex To me, this movie is perfection.

Konterr Brilliant and touching

Matho The biggest problem with this movie is it’s a little better than you think it might be, which somehow makes it worse. As in, it takes itself a bit too seriously, which makes most of the movie feel kind of dull.

mikesf06 Like any fable or story, when it speaks to you and to your experiences, it will move you. There are many wonderful little moments that did that for me. Often, we are searching and longing and confused throughout our lives, but we kind of grasp profound things like eternity, love, joy and living. We kind of remember something, and feel like there is something to do, or something we forgot to do. Or sometimes we are prompted to something by someone or some story coming along at a good time for us. That kind of joy/pain is represented in a playful way that is still heartfelt and can be grounded in everyday life and death circumstances. There's lots of heart string tugging, and obvious emotional grabbers, but I'm okay with that considering the perspective of the lead characters. The inexperience of children struggling with lifelong and profound questions and finding their way is sweet, and allows some viewers to grab hold and dance again.

Jordan Marshall Well, like I said. This movie is the most dreadful movie known to man-kind. The movie jumped around and left you confused. The plot was forced, and barely ever made sense. The acting was horrible. No real emotions whatsoever. Everything seemed forced. Whoever directed this movie should NEVER get to direct again. Because if his/her movies are anything like this one, they should be put to shame and kicked out of Hollywood. If you go a lifetime without seeing this movie, it will probably be the best thing that happens to you.

Clkdreamer40 I'm sixteen and I just watched this movie. I didn't really understand the plot. It felt too slow and just had no point. In some ways, it was boring because everything was too perfect. I didn't really understand the whole thing with the circus and the black hole. The only thing I understood was that the grandpa lost his Alzheimer's when he was in the place between heaven and earth and he became friends with the girl. This movie made absolutely no sense. Someone reviewed that this movie was original, but I've seen ten million other movies like this. They go to a new world which is perfect, but they have to go back. There's also the "loss of a loved one" element in this movie. I'm hoping that one of these days the people writing scripts will create an understandable and original movie.

bocaproduction "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
