Negative Positive
Title: amazing and breathtaking.
Review: I am rarely moved by a film as I have with this one. This film is fairly flawless with wonderful (not over the top) acting, zgreat wonderful visuals and a poignant adaptation of the novel. Liesel Matthews is just wonderful never going over the top. It would be so easy to camp it up and get that hollywood feel but instead you are drawn into a story of complexity and drama. I can't help but think about Oliver Twist when I see this film but it's a different story altogether. I recall when this first came out and Gene Siskel argued that despite wonderful films like this, everyone complains that no family fair exists. It's out there if you look for it. This is a real gem that sadly tanked in the cinema.
Is the review positive or negative?
