Review of The BFG (2016) by Compi24 — 04 Mar 2019

This live-action adaptation of Roald Dahl's classic children's novel exists in a manner similar to that of the titular character at hand. It's sweet and wholesome, yet characteristically oddball and strange.

And for the "BFG" film in particular, these more peculiar elements tend to come about in the latter half of things, where a very unpredictable narrative left turn ultimately leaves the audience uttering, ".

. .huh?" The confusion, on the part of this audience member at least, lasts only a little while, however, with the film's charm and visual splendor eventually lulling you back into the typical Spielbergian state of genuine entertainment.

It's not one of his better told stories -- namely due to the idiosyncratic stylings of Dahl doing him in, methinks -- but it still looks and feels good.
