What critics compared Lovely & Amazing to
There is certainly no reason why the dizzy harpies played by Maggie Smith ( Gosford Park ), Shirley Knight ( As Good As It Gets ), and Fionnula Flanagan ( The Others ) couldn't be combined into two characters, or even one.
As Fin walks the tracks, he finds another kindred spirit: Cleo (Raven Goodwin, of Lovely & Amazing [2002]), an overweight little African-American girl who scuttles silently behind him.
A librarian (Michelle Williams) warms to the new book lover at once; a little girl (''Lovely & Amazing'''s Raven Goodwin), as matter-of-factly unparented as she is black in a very white neck of the woods, adopts his train passions as her own.
