Steve D 01/29/2024 Slow, goes nowhere, and nowhere near as cute as it thinks it is. See more 05/04/2020 Loved this movie. Those who found it slow should have seen it in pandemic shutdown. The actors are all gifted. Has echoes of "Cold Comfort Farm" but not as twee or Pythonesque. Child narrator Fraser is everything Scotland could ask for in a lad, adventurous yet true to his family and place. See more Frances H 05/22/2014 Charming, funny, poignant, beautifully filmed in gorgeous Scotland, this wonderful movie tells a nostalgic tale of growing up in highland castle. The cast is superb and does a glorious job of bringing it all alive for us. A great watch! See more 05/02/2014 Cute, enjoyable film. See more 04/29/2013 (***): [img]http://images.rottentomatoes.com/images/user/icons/icon14.gif[/img] An interesting coming-of-age film. See more 10/08/2012 Unforgivably dull. Where's the plot? The only redeeming feature is Scotland's natural beauty in the background of every scene. See more Read all reviews
