Our take
Although shot on nostalgic 16mm, this throwback to the endearingly naive, occasionally disturbing kids’ films of yesteryear slyly updates the adventure movie for the screen-obsessed generation. In this charming feature, fairy tales, witches, and spells still exist—for those who want to see them.
