A mosty charming movie giving everyone the right to hope., 25 June 2001
10/10
Author: jerry haynes (mrpee) from Dallas, Tx

Once upon a time we were all children with the privilege of being ourselves in every moment of our life. Sometimes our life turns awry and we slip into a difficult position ..one that does not allow us the ability to escape. But we still remain ourselves and have the right to try to reach the open air while being pushed down with our physical and mental anguishes that slip up on us and close off the fresh air that we all need.Cosi is that kind of a story. A young man attempts to find his "fresh air", and in doing so he sets a group of severly lovely children FREE and for the moment gives them breathing room. And his fresh air is in full supply as he faces the future not afraid.
