In the age of streaming video, if I watch a film to the end there must be some merit. If I don't even consider turning the film off there's got to be some magic. ITDH definitely casts a charming spell. There is, at various points, some frustration regarding where the film wants to go. But the mood and tone of the English grey skys and the circumstances become intoxicating. Our young actress gives a performance many Hollywood people could not touch. The ending makes sense of sorts but had this viewer wishing that there had been more clues, fewer tangents. Maybe I should watch the film again. If you like the notions of film making, acting direction and dialog, don't miss this film.
