Critic Reviews

  • David Fear, Time Out New York

    It's refreshing to be reminded that an intelligent, exciting family movie isn't always an oxymoron.

    Occasionally arresting ideas and a non-condescending attitude to its pre-teen protagonists give this more character than many effects-driven family fantasies, even if it's ultimately too wonky in construction to sweep us along convincingly.
