A boy has a great life until he learns his mother is having a baby.

Phelim O'Neill

Guardian

It presents a gently humorous, beautifully shot idyllic version of childhood, all blue skies, good manners and not a hair out of place. It's a nice place to visit for the duration.

Rated: 4/5

Eye for Film

While eight-year-olds on up with love the scrapes and triumphs that the kids get themselves into, there is also a lot of pleasure to be had from an adult's perspective.

An excellent film with a great cast, nice visuals, powerful soundtrack and foremost brilliant pacing. You could reproach it the liberties it took from the source material, but to me this a brilliant feel good film for people of any age.
