Review of A Far Off Place (1993) by Liz K — 01 Sep 2011

A FAR OFF PLACE is brave adventure of 2 kids with great message. Relation between 3 lead characters is very touching in this movie.

It's not a complete family movie.. there is a bit of violence content included.

I liked the movie.. I didn't feel bored until end when Xhabbo and Nonnie started thumping their chest and heavy load of wind start blowing in desert. Little odd thing to watch.

Another thing that was little odd when Nonnie, Mopani and Harry alone go to Rickket's property in search of Ivory and the ran into Rickett alone. It's another odd thing. No other vehicle around or any of rickett's handsman around. Ending is little dull but rest of the movie is Good.

High Points:

1. Reese Witherspoon's Performance.

2. Storyline, Direction and Screenplay.

Low Points:

1. Ending is little dull.

2. Movie is little boring and slow in few parts.

Scenes:

1. End scene when Harry came back with Nonnie's birds is very good end.

2. A sequences between Nonnie and Harry are wonderful.

Direction, Screenplay, Cinematography are GOOD.

Dailogues are alright.

REESE WITHERSPOON steals the show completely. Wonderful acting in such young age in her early role. No wonder she is big hollywood star now.

ETHAN RANDALL as Harry done excellent job.

It's Family movie with Message about Illegal Animal Killing and wonderful performances by 2 young kids.

IT'S ONE TIME WORTH WATCH FAMILY-ADVENTURE MOVIE.
