Not a great movie but it has its charm. It deserves a bit more than three stars. The emphasis on astronomy helps to introduce Chet Raymo's understanding of "religious naturalism" and modern mysticism. Chet Raymo wrote the novel that inspired the movie.

Hidden gem for sure, a dwarf who tells his memoir about him growing up and publishes his story. Also, combining it with his love for astronomy but also his struggles as an adult dwarf.
