[Opens Oct. 4 in theaters.] Wonderful acting and photography dominate Marc Forster's powerful, poignant, coming-of-age, riveting, heartbreaking, bittersweet, star-studded (Stuart McQuarrie, Patsy Ferran, Jem Matthews, Philip Lenkowsky, Jo Stone-Fewings, Olivia Ross), 2-hour film based on R.J. Palacio's 2019 novel in which a shy, Jewish student (Bryce Gheisar) attends the Yates Academy amidst the backdrop of his grandmother (Helen Mirren) recounting her survival as a teenager (Ariella Glaser) whose parents (Gillian Anderson and Max Blum) had her hiding out in a barn beginning in 1942 for more than a year in Nazi-occupied Paris during WWII with her polio-afflicted classmate (Orlando Schwerdt) who eventually is arrested by the Germans in 1944 and killed along with other Jewish prisoners during an escape.
