I can't help but feel if the film hadn't been quite so reverent to its source material, it could have fashioned a more distinctive end-result. Go to Full Review

Even though I haven't had the honor of reading his book, I'm fairly sure Almond deserves an apology for this film. Go to Full Review

05/09/2021 I thought it a touching story overall, but doesn't really develop the characters including the main one in the story until the very end which is kind of bizarre See more 07/24/2018 It is terrible. after reading the book I sat down to watch this "thing". I recommend you skip this film. See more 02/21/2017 Great movie although they should've show mina's parents See more 04/14/2015 One of the most boring movies I've watched, however the book was even worse. What's John Simm doing in something like this? See more 12/20/2013 Absolutely loved this film! I read the book when I was in secondary school and never got round to watching the film so I finally have and I have gotta say, the film was better than the book but saying that, it was quite a few years ago that I read it so I may have forgotten how detailed it was/wasn't. See more don s 12/15/2013 Based on a children's novel, this is a family friendly British TV movie with fantasy elements. It teaches the lesson that things are not always what they appear. It moves a bit slowly and doesn't explore the origins of Skellig, but overall it is enjoyable and has a satisfying ending. Decent. See more Read all reviews
