    Starring two of the stars of the hit mini-series "State of Play" (Kelly Macdonald and Life on Mars' John Simm) as the hero's parents, and Tim Roth as the mysterious, smelly and belching homeless beer-drinker of the title, "Skellig" is one of those modern children's stories that b...( read more)lend fantasy with the real-life (and death) issues of contemporary kids: a baby sister's illness, a father's rage at his powerlessness, a mother's anger at her husband's selfishness, a budding friendship with an old woman suffering from "Arthur-itis" and a kid's ambivalence about the arrival of a new family member.

    My favourite aspect of the film was the hero's friendship with the girl next door, homeschooled artist Mina. As teenage film girl friends go, she was one of the best I can remember, and made me wish I had one like that, even though I'm 42 (but emotionally retarded.) John Simm was also very good, and managed to make me cry once or twice.

    Amazing Book and as good an adaption as ever could have been made. Two thumbs up for Tim Roth and a good family movie all around.

    Lovely film but slightly disappointing that they deviated somewhat from the book.
