Entertainment Reviews:
Rating: 4/5 --
One of the best family films of the 80s. Lucy Deakins and Jay Underwood are delightful. A film you'll cherish forever.

One of the hallmark films of the 1980s, full of whimsical charm.

Filmmaker Castle has infused The Boy Who Could Fly with an exceedingly (and often excessively) deliberate pace that prevents the viewer from connecting to the material throughout...

Reel Film Reviews
A feel good movie about a teenager who cares deeply about another person and, in the process, experiences the renewal of her mind and spirit.

Here is a sweet and innocent parable about a boy who could fly -- and about a girl who could fly, too.

It's sweet, it's touching, it's occasionally pretty corny -- but I've got a soft spot for this one all the same.

Description by OLDIES.com:
Jay Underwood plays an autistic boy who provides a source of fascination to a new family in town. Never uttering a sound, Underwood spends hours in his backyard, attempting to fly like the birds. Lucy Deakins, the daughter of the new family, befriends Underwood; she is encouraged by teacher Colleen Dewhurst to try to draw the boy out of his shell, and to keep a journal on the subject. Rendered unconscious in a fall, Deakins dreams that Underwood can fly. The boy is suddenly whisked away to an institution, and Deakins despairs that she'll never see him again.
