Warm and wonderful! It is the kind of movie that inspires and entertains. Georges Lopez is a gentle, kind, wise man with a heart for his students' successes. Lovely man and lovely film.

If you need something to watch that will make you feel warm and fuzzy (and perhaps shed a tear) look no further - a beautifully executed film about a wonderful man that will fill you with hope, no matter how cynical you may feel.… Expand

To Be and to Have proves that even the child used in the film can bring perfect performances and that brings the ultimate plan of "To Be and to Have" in exactly 104 minutes.
