Review of The Price of Milk (2001) by Adrianna M — 06 Sep 2009
Quirky much in the fashion of Burton's Big Fish, this romantic fairytale might get nowhere near its spiritual successor in terms of the quality of acting, but it certainly has some magic of its own.
When I hear Roger Ebert saying that the place of magic realism is not on a farm in New Zealand or with this story, I have to disagree. The cows, the breathtaking NZ lanscapes, the rural, slightly altered state of reality - and somehow Harry Sinclair (that guy you saw for a few moments, playing Isildur in Lord of the Rings) manages to make it work.
Plot in short? Oh, the trials of love... They may not make much sense at first, but then, at the very end, all the loose threads of the storyline come together to form a perfect, warm... quilt.
