Dean Stockwell is sympathetic in the lead role as a young boy struggling to adjust to the loss of his parents; he&#8217;s a remarkably natural child actor, and his performance is never cloying. His initial interactions with &#8220;Gramp&#8221; (sweetly played by O&#8217;Brien) are heartwarming; I love the moment when Peter (Stockwell) intentionally breaks a vase, and, after a brief pause, O&#8217;Brien responds, &#8220;I know what you mean&#8221;.  Because Peter&#8217;s hair doesn&#8217;t turn green until about halfway through the film, by this point we&#8217;ve grown to care about him, and understand the depth of his frustration and loneliness. Though ostensibly serving a larger purpose, Peter&#8217;s green hair ultimately signals his own coming-of-age: he must learn to trust his instincts and do what <em>he <\/em>feels is right rather than give in to the pressures of society. Thankfully, nothing is easily resolved by the end of the film; what&#8217;s important is that Peter has gotten to tell his story the way he sees it. <\/p>\n<p><strong>Redeeming Qualities and Moments: <\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Dean Stockwell as Peter<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1675\" height=\"1025\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58621\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell.png 1675w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell-300x184.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell-1024x627.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell-128x78.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell-768x470.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell-1536x940.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Stockwell-441x270.png 441w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1675px) 100vw, 1675px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>Pat O&#8217;Brien as &#8220;Gramp&#8221;<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1703\" height=\"1017\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58622\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien.png 1703w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien-300x179.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien-1024x612.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien-128x76.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien-768x459.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien-1536x917.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-OBrien-452x270.png 452w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1703px) 100vw, 1703px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<li>A creative story about post-war trauma<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma.png\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"1693\" height=\"1017\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-58620\" srcset=\"https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma.png 1693w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma-300x180.png 300w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma-1024x615.png 1024w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma-128x77.png 128w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma-768x461.png 768w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma-1536x923.png 1536w, https:\/\/filmfanatic.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/05\/Boy-With-Green-Hair-Trauma-449x270.png 449w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1693px) 100vw, 1693px\" \/><\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Must See? <\/strong><br \/>\nYes.
