Film: did I like lit, did I not?
The first half was okay- some interesting sub-plots; the boy’s relationship with the magic-man was interesting, his unbreakable ties with his roots were too. I loved the idea of hiding in the water tower, there were some gems in this film.
It was shot in an almost hyper-reality CGI style, with overblown overacting and shallow sentimental stuff dripping everywhere.
The second half was absurd in my view. It looked as if they thought up three alternative endings and decided “to hell with it, we’ll put them all in”.
The comic-book acting wore me down by the second half; I’d had enough by then and couldn’t wait for it to end, even at this point, after that feeling had sunk in, we were subjected to three endings in sequence.
