	Little Man Tate - Florida's young murderer and the insanity of our competency laws. By Dahlia Lithwick
		The discussion around the Tate case has largely addressed the issue of prosecutorial bloodthirstiness and the decision to try him as an adult in criminal court, a decision that forced some tearful members of his jury to impose a mandatory life sentence.
		Lionel Tate, whose IQ was tested at 90 at the time of trial and whose "social maturity" was evaluated as that of a 6-year-old, spent much of his time in the courtroom drawing pictures at counsel table.
		Moreover, said the court, it was wrong for the trial judge to assume that Tate, with the mental age of an 8- or 9-year-old, could possibly understand the strategic and constitutional decisions necessary to help his attorney defend against a first-degree murder charge.

	DVD Talk > Reviews > Little Man Tate
		Little Man Tate is an impressive directorial debut for Jodie Foster, presenting a complex situation intelligently and thoughtfully.
		Little Man Tate accurately depicts the difficulties that are part and parcel of the "gift" of exceptional intelligence, including the difficulty in finding friends who both understand and accept him, and the pressure to choose between the intellectual and the emotional sides of his life.
		Foster avoids going for any simplistic theme or message in Little Man Tate, choosing instead (and wisely, I think) to focus on the complexities of the situation, and the fact that gifted children are still children, not adults in child-sized bodies.

	deseretnews.com - Movie review: Little Man Tate \| Deseret Morning News Web edition
		Fred Tate is a pale, sensitive boy with no friends at school and a teacher who doesn't understand him.
		Though the final moments are a bit less satisfying than everything that has gone before, and some of the humor at Jane's expense seems a bit cheap, "Little Man Tate" emerges as a thought-provoking, enchanting little fable that marks the debut of a director to watch for.
		Like that film, "Little Man Tate" is a delicate screenplay that could have been a disaster in the wrong hands.

	Charity's Place.com > Little Man Tate
		This seems to be the case of a touching drama entitled Little Man Tate which follows the legacy of a little boy and the two powerful women who influence his life.
		All in all, over the summer each one of them -- whether it be a brilliant little boy, a young mother, or a best-selling author -- will learn a valuable lesson that will change their lives forever and help form what will become the happy childhood of Little Man Tate.
		You grow with the characters as you learn their own little secrets and dismays and though a lot is left unspoken, the actors manage to convey their thoughts with silence.

		LITTLE MAN TATE is a movie with interesting and multidimensional characters, even though this is a little movie, almost independent cinema, it's interesting enough to see Jodie Foster's solid directional debut.
		The best performances in LITTLE MAN TATE are: Adam Hann-Byrd as the little Fred Tate, he is the centerpiece of the plot and the movie, also Dianne Wiest is fine as Dr. Jane Grierson, her presence changes the life of Fred and his mom Dede.
		In LITTLE MAN TATE Jodie Foster is adequate as an actress, but as a director she is even better.

	filmcritic.com Movie Review: Little Man Tate
		Little Man Tate follows child prodigy Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd, whose only other good role came in the form of Ang Lee's The Ice Storm) and struggling mother Dede Tate (Jodie Foster).
		Dede Tate is driven by what her son wants.
		What most people are not familiar with is that she was in, to a degree, the position that Fred Tate finds himself in during the film.

	‘Little Man Tate’ (PG)
		After 25 years in front of the camera, Jodie Foster moves behind the Panaflex to direct "Little Man Tate," a proficient, tenderly told story of a child prodigy's search for social acceptance.
		Foster plays Dede Tate, a poor but cheerful cocktail waitress who dotes on Fred in her own feckless way.
		Even if he is more grown up than the rest of this lot of Peter Pans, Fred is not a little man at all.

	The DVD Journal \| Quick Reviews: Little Man Tate
		Dede, a single mom, is something of a loser — a never-was dancer who works in a cocktail bar — but her saving grace is that she loves Fred with all her heart.
		Perhaps she even loves him a little too much, treating him like a surrogate mate, confiding in him, swing-dancing with him, and relying on him almost as an equal.
		Assholes don't have friends.") Little Man Tate is a beautiful film, with conscious but not overwhelming art direction that contrasts the warmth and chaos of Fred and Dede's world with the stark, geometrically precise European-furniture-world of Jane and her Grierson Institute.

	‘Little Man Tate’ (PG)
		For her directorial debut, actress Jodie Foster has chosen "Little Man Tate," a TV-mawkish fable about a young boy with extraordinary intelligence.
		Enter Dianne Wiest, who runs a child prodigy institute and takes her brilliant charges to an annual, smart-kid convention called "Odyssey of the Mind." When Wiest invites Tate (newcomer Adam Hann-Byrd) to spend a summer at her institute, Foster is torn between her maternal instinct and her son's intellectual needs.
		When Tate's elementary teacher asks which -- of a series of odd and even numbers -- can be divided by two, the little genius replies, "All of them." But Foster's crowning achievement occurs when Tate is observing a mathematical, game-show panel.

		But, his grades draw the attention of guru educationalist - - Dianne Wiest, playing Jane Grierson, who convinces Foster to let Little Tate move in with her, be embued in higher-education surroundings, adopt her diet and sophisticated habits.
		In fact, "Little Man Tate" is her directoral debut.

	Little Man Tate (Wide Screen) DVD review - Time Out Film (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-20)
		Fred Tate (Hann-Byrd) is a gifted child: by age seven, he can play the piano backwards, paint like a master, and solve complex maths problems.
		Single parent mother Dede (Foster) comes into conflict with child psychologist Jane Grierson (Wiest), who takes the boy under her wing: tough-talking Dede is ready with the hugs, while Jane serves up macrobiotics and disciplinary lectures.
		Foster's directorial debut is a worthy attempt to explore a little understood subject, but the film is bogged down by an approach to Wiest and Foster's characters which polarises intellect and emotion.

	FISH OUT OF WATER: LITTLE MAN TATE, PARADISE, THE PEOPLE UNDER THE STAIRS
		Foster, of course, knows what it's like to be a child in difficult circumstances, having not only been a child actor (she received her first Oscar nomination - for TAXI DRIVER - at the age of 12), but also having been the target of John Hinckley Jr.'s affections when she was still a teenager.
		The seven-year old boy in question is Fred Tate (Adam Hamm-Byrd), who is a math whiz, can not only play piano beyond his age but also compose music, and also writes poetry.
		Still, despite that flaw, LITTLE MAN TATE is mostly quiet, observing, and patient, and stays with you because of that.

		She digs into the corners of her most challenging roles -- the child hooker in Taxi Driver, the rape victim in The Accused, the FBI novice in The Silence of the Lambs -- and comes up with something dark, daring hard to pin down.
		In Little Man Tate, she plays Dede Tate, a single working mother who can't figure out how to do the right thing for her seven-year-old son, Fred (Adam Hann-Byrd).
		When the film follows Fred on his odyssey of the mind, Little Man Tate is passionately involving, and Foster's direction is as sharply intuitive as her acting.

	Little Man Tate (1991)
		Produced at what was the peak of her career, in 1991, it tells the story of eight year old Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd) and his mum Dede (Foster).
		Sure, it's a little sugary at times, but its intentions are good and it is well crafted..
		Much as was the case in my recent review of Benny and Joon, Little Man Tate offers quite a fine transfer that is finely detailed, rich in colour and with few problems other some excessive grain.

		Little Man Tate charts the loneliness of gifted children and their struggle to find acceptance in a world where very few other individuals wake up in Vincent van Gogh's flower paintings.

	"Little Man Tate" / a review from Christian Spotlight on the Movies
		Perhaps actress/director Jodie Foster was able to use her own background as a child film star to lend realism to the "I-don't-fit-in-anywhere" theme.
		Fred Tate (Adam Hann-Byrd) is a first-grader who does photo-quality painting, competition-level piano and extremely complicated math.
		He's also unhappy because he's not like other children and has no friends, and because he understands and worries about adult subjects like deforestation and ozone depletion.

		Factual error: In one scene Fred Tate is explaining to his mom, Dede, what a 'lepton' is. He says first "A lepton is a Z-particle", then furthermore says "Do you know what protons and electrons are?
