Poppy is a very sweet film, with Libby Hunsdale's performance at the center allowing Niccol's to get away with what at times could come across as excessively sentimental.

Niccol’s film, based on her own short story, is a lovely narrative that gives voice to a character that is rarely seen.

Eye for Film

Much more engaging than its premise might suggest, this small time story has a big heart. If you’re looking for a film which will leave you smiling for the rest of the day, don’t miss this one.

Rated: 3.5/5
