What an experience

Rating: 7/10 (1 September 2015)

What a marvellous experience watching this.
Top notch direction and splendid performances from all involved.
Just goes to show how you can have a fantasy/horror/war/thriller/growing up movie with a love story thrown in.
I wish I could have seen it on the big screen and I think 3D would have made this a real feast. missed it at the theatre so watching on Blu ray with surround sound and it hasn't let me down.
This is how to make movies. Bit of everything thrown in and wonderfully dark which switches from the innocence of a young girl straight to the horrors of war and then off to a fantasy world of talking wood and secret worlds.
Brilliant.
