Out of the beautifully illustrated children’s book of just nine sentences comes a full-length feature film to rival some of Hollywood’s best productions. We become part of a tumultuous fantasy world created by 10-year-old Max, who uses the escape as a way to cope with his changing home life.This is not kiddie fodder, but rather a triumph in imagination creation. The characters are not cuddly but brash, and the landscape not green and lush but stark and challenging. It’s gritty stuff and so real that you can almost feel the wind whipping through your hair as you brave the angry sea. Worth watching on the big screen.
Rating: 4 outta 5.
