Review of The BFG (2016) by Simon T — 24 Jul 2016
Spielberg's charming throwback to the cinema of Disney has all the touches you'd expect: glorious production design, wonderful performances, and sly nods to his own back catalogue and even Kubrick's (if your ears are as attuned as the BFG's).
What hampers it is the sometimes slack pacing and a dollop too much whimsy. But it's still a hugely enjoyable family film.
