Title: Silly, self-absorbed, dull nonsense
Review: My daughter and I read the book and thought the pictures were wonderful, but the story was dull. The book's ending was so absurd that I thought the movie must have a different ending since it was receiving such good reviews. Wrong! The movie is as silly as the book plus some. Ben Kingsley's character, George Melies, is distraught when, after the first world war, his films are no longer popular among returning soldiers who have witnessed the horrors of war. Does this realization cause him to gain perspective on life or make new films to appeal to this more sophisticated/hardened audience? No. It turns him into a depressed bully who spends decades lamenting his lack of popularity until he's rediscovered and appreciated. Instead of sympathy for the orphaned boy, it's all about what each of the characters can do to boost Melies' self-esteem. It was also overly long with some seemingly pointless scenes, and overall was slow-paced despite the melodrama.
