don't like it? you have no soul

Rating: 9/10 (25 February 2012)

this movie is almost perfect. a wonderful blend of great aesthetic, art, performances, script, story, music! if you are expecting Raging Bull or Good Fellas, you will be disappointed, but if you are a movie lover you will love this. If this movie does not please you, I'm sorry, but there is something wrong with your heart and soul. I have just been informed that I have to write at least ten lines to submit this review, so I will ramble on a bit more about how wonderful this film is. It is a homage to movies, a fairy story, a heart warming human drama, a wonderful fantasy. It has comedy, pathos, mystery and all delivered in a non-cloying, human way. the negative reviews which I have seen are totally ridiculous, and obviously written by men with Neanderthal mentalities, unable to appreciate beauty, subtlety, nuance and magic.
