Heart warming and fun family film.
19 October 2021
This is genuinely a heart warming film for all the family. The film is an adaption of the children's story by Roald Dahl, so the choice of stop motion filming is very apt as it makes it look very child friendly, plus there isn't any curse words, with the characters all saying "cuss" instead.

The colour palette is just warm and cozy with lots of autumnal and natural colours...which just adds to the heart warming nature of the story. Whilst it does deviate from the source material, the story is still fairly true to the book, and even though it is a family film, there is still the snappy and witty dialogue that Wes Anderson films are famous for.

It's worth adding that the contemporary soundtrack is excellent and the voice cast is A-Class and brilliant as you would expect! Some of the scenes are hilarious and show set creativity at its very best!

Who knew Wes Anderson made great children's films! Definitely one for a Sunday afternoon with the whole family!
