Reviews
Los Angeles Times - ...An exceptionally adroit adaptation of a play to the screen. As a film, it flows beautifully under Randa Haines' direction and has considerable humor as well as dramatic intensity..., Variety - ...Superbly played....It's another seamless performance for Hurt....[Matlin] is simply fresh and alive with fine shadings of expression...

Additional Information
James Leeds (William Hurt), a handsome and dedicated teacher, just started his new assignment at an elite school for the deaf. Immediately, James begins using unconventional teaching methods to reach his students. Sure enough, he manages to inspire the most introverted pupils to participate in class. But there's one person James hasn't been able to reach: the deaf custodian, Sarah Norman (Marlee Matlin). Sarah, also an alumni of the school, has chosen to remain in the safe ecosystem of the hearing impaired. James, aroused by her beauty but put off by her cynical, cold manner, vows to know her more closely and tries to reach the sensitive woman hiding behind the tough exterior.<BR>Based on Mark Medoff's Tony Award-winning play, CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD is a refreshing and original film. Matlin is both endearing and sensuous as the bitter Sarah. One feels warm and fuzzy inside as Leeds (Hurt) tries to coax the begrudging Sarah out of her shell. The directorial debut for T.V. veteran (HILL STREET BLUES, FAMILY) Randa Haines, CHILDREN OF A LESSER GOD is a key film from the 1980s, it landmarks the growth of women directors in the industry and remains an inspiration for a generation of diverse filmmakers to come.

  • Enlightening! A must view with open mind and heart.

    Great story about accepting others as they are and not make them into our image and likeness.

  • This has to be watched.

    I bought this DVD as I missed the film when it came out. I have a profoundly deaf sister and I am writing a fiction book about a hearing girl growing up with a deaf sister. I wanted to watch Marlee for my research and I found this film so touching it brought tears to my eyes. Definitely one to watch.

  • THE FIRST DVD FROM E BAY

    my fiancee has a profoundly deaf son,she saw this movie some years ago and wanted a copy after seeing it.although i did not think we would be able to get a copy we managed through e bay the dvd was posted [well wrapped]and arrived quickly. i must say the movie was not my cup of tea but judy really enjoyed it and said it was as good as she remembered it,she said she would reccommend it to anyone who has a deaf person in the family because it gives you some idea of their disability.i hope this helps anyone who wants this movie.cheers IAN;;

  • Children of a lesser God

    An excellent Film, Play and Book. Wheather you use sign language, are affected by deafness or not, I would recommend you check this out in whichever medium suits you best. Or maybe check out them all! :-) Steve
