Review of From Time to Time (2009) by Annabelle S — 04 Jan 2010
Charming inter-generational ghost story, with the wonderful Maggie Smith leading a fine British cast, all of whom give superb understated performances throughout. It is perhaps not the most cinematic film youâ??ll ever see, and I suspect it may find its natural home on television in a cosy living room between Christmas lunch and the Queenâ??s speech. However, if you do get a chance to see it at the pictures, I warmly recommend it, as it is a very different kind of family film to what is most typically on offer.
This UK premiere (I believe) was presented at the London Film Festival and part of their provision for audiences of all age. The screening was followed by a brief Q&A with writer / director Julian Fellowes, accompanied by Pauline Collins and Timothy Spall. All three were warm and gracious and never once condescended to the younger members of the audience.
(The posting of this review was delayed because the film was not listed on Flixster till now.).
