A Classic Live-Action Fairytale

Rating: 10/10 (22 October 2016)

Right up there with "The Princess Bride" and other such gems, yet often overlooked as it came out in a "busy" movie year and was not well publicized. The classic tale of the peasant and the enchanted princess. She is a twinkling star that falls to Earth and appears to be a human being. She is made out of Stardust! Of course, it is love at first sight. The peasant must cross the barrier-fence and enter the enchanted land, where things are turned around. It's ruled by anarchy. It's like an Alternative Universe. Witches and magic are quite real. Everything "works" differently. He must find a way to bring her into his Universe. If he does it wrong, she will turn back into a star! Fascinating and beautifully done. Some concepts, such as witches sucking up "lifeforce" are quite familiar to fantasy fans, so it's not entirely original. Right up there with "The Lord of the Rings" fantasies. If you have never seen it before, you will enjoy it immensely! Great production values in every category!
