Review of The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe (2005) by J. Hoberman for Village Voice — 19 Sep 2013
Robust, engrossing, and surprisingly restrained in saving most of its effects for the grand finale, the first Chronicles of Narnia installment eschews Harry Potter's satanic subtext and "The Lord of the Rings'" Wagnerian cosmology.
It may be as close to adult-friendly kid fare as Hollywood will ever get.
