isla s This is a very mysterious, slightly dark (spooky) and part fantasy based film. Most of the film has a yellow tinge, which helps give it a bright and artificial feel somehow. I thought the actress Peyton Kennedy, who plays the main character, Gitty, gave a particularly good performance. There's some interesting and thoughtful dialogue and it has good use of background music/sounds. The family dynamics element I found particularly intriguing. Its not scary but its definitely spooky and I thought that overall, its a decently made film, which I'd recommend. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Is it a fable or real? With her family's livelihood imperiled by the farm crisis during the 1980s, 11-year-old Gitty loses herself in a world of fantasy and make believe But she stumbles into her own fairy tale when she makes a startling discovery: a well-dressed mystery man being held captive in her family's silo It's the beginning of a labyrinthine journey that will turn Gitty's world upside down and force her to question her loyalty to her own family Think of this like the American version of Pan's Labyrinth I'm not sure what direction Anne Hamilton was trying to get across but it felt very underwhelming I wanted more fantasy elements involved with this little girls imagination It just keeps going back to this mystery of whether or not this man in the silo can be trusted and hardly any of the relatives can be trusted or remotely likable It becomes more disappointing towards the end when nothing feels resolved Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 01/22/23 Full Review adam b Some interesting scenes and a cool idea but the ending looses its footing Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 03/31/23 Full Review Audience Member Great story. Stunning visuals. Very well done! Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 02/08/23 Full Review Audience Member American Fable isn't so much a fable as an allegorical telling of the 20th century's farmstead transformation. The dubious actions are enough to create a complex layer of ethical and moral dilemmas for an imaginative 11 year old to contend with. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 01/27/23 Full Review Audience Member I found that the wall tiles were more interesting than this nonsense movie. Seriously, if you watch this film toward the mid way point, when you are wondering why you continue to watch such drivel, turn away and look at the wall or something equally dull, amazingly it is more enjoyable than this film. Can i get those hours of my life back please. the only reason i finished it was to know how truely bad it was., Rated 0.5/5 Stars •  Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 02/27/23 Full Review Read all reviews
