Review of The BFG (2016) by Spencer K — 12 Jul 2016

I'm a huge fan of this source material and when I heard Steven Spielberg was directing, I was onboard immediately. Mark Rylance does an excellent motion capture performance. he's so likable and his charm is ever so prevalent in every frame of this film.

Ruby Barnhill, who plays Sophie has a very bright future ahead of her because she was fantastic in this film. the third half of the film is a very steep tonal shift, but it still does work very well. this is an incredibly endearing, magical, visually stunning, entertaining film.

it's of course not Spielberg's best work, but it's a film that families are sure to come to love and one that I feel should be passed on from generations, it has great potential to be cherished for years to come.

I had a great time with The BFG and I think more people should most definitely see it, you'll be charmed and delighted.
