Review of The BFG (2016) by Steve Persall for Tampa Bay Times — 04 Jul 2016
Spielberg doesn't pull heart strings as much as push the right buttons, dutiful to an undercooked story. The BFG begins like a classic fairy tale and ends with helicopters and fart jokes, a tonal dissonance that is Dahl's fault, not the film's.
