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

May 9, 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 Jul 24, 2018 It is terrible. after reading the book I sat down to watch this "thing". I recommend you skip this film. See more Feb 21, 2017 Great movie although they should've show mina's parents See more Apr 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 Dec 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 @RT97868663 Dec 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.
