Review of The BFG (2016) by John Bleasdale for CineVue — 13 May 2016
There are moments of real wonder and delight and Quentin Blake's original illustrations are occasionally glimpsed in the set ups. This isn't an epic of visual wizardry and there's zero irony or clever wit.
Rather, Spielberg's latest is an old-fashioned children's tale told simply and with plenty of heart.
