Review of Paddington (2014) by Phillip V — 30 Apr 2015

Whole family giggled all the way through this. I was struck by how well directed it was. It seems like many of the shots were well planned and executed with a careful eye, which is something I rarely consider while watching a kids movie, especially one so rooted in CGI effects.

I also love Sally Hawkins in this, although she is hardly the only good performance. The jokes are very clever and while the film is formulaic, I was left satisfied.
