Review of The BFG (2016) by Whiskeystories — 01 Dec 2017
What a let down. I love Spielberg, so naturally I was excited for this one. I didn't have huge expectations, but I was hoping for some charming family entartainment. But in the end I kinda hated The BFG.
The first 15 minutes are cutesy and fun, but everything after that (from the story, to the characters and the message) annoyed the hell out of me. I feel bad for the little girl playing the main character, because she did a completely fine job, but her character was just so irritating by the end.
Those fifteen minutes and Mark Rylance's charming performance were the only tolerable elements the BFG has. I can see some people enjoying this film, but I definitely did not.
