A thing of beauty

Rating: Null/10 (30 November 2000)

Without the supernatural trickery, this would be a brilliant movie. The ending was cute, but merely the cherry on top. What drove this movie were the characters, the acting (the best ever performance by a child actor?) and the tightly knit, "page turner" plot.
This is a rare movie where everything fell into place. It was an honor to watch all the new talent at work, as well as the old.
It was completely satisfying on every possible level.
