Featured reviews
I am probably biased because I love Dahl and Potter but this film for me was about Dahl s mum. She did really have to bury her husband and daughter within weeks and tho this film may take liberties, I am in awe of any woman or son who made good on that pain. This is beautiful to the eye and soul ... may we seek to be this beautiful x
It is very well acted, and it looks beautiful. It was a perfectly lovely film, but it felt like there was something missing or that more should have been happening. If you want something sweet to watch with the family, watch this. Though it might not be exciting or fun enough to keep younger viewers interested.
Really disappointed with this film. I was really looking forward after the most terrible year (2020) to watching this on Christmas Eve with my little family.
It really is a pointless film with a terrible story line, well if you can call it a storyline.
What a waste of a fabulous opportunity...

We watched this Boxing Day. I missed it on Christmas Eve. Absolutely wonderful. Beautifully filmed. The only programme that really made it feel Christmas. Great cast and John Hannah narrating. What else could you possibly want.
Was expecting it to be better than it actually was. Overall, it felt a bit twee.
Great picture postcard scenery of the Lake District though. Jessica Haynes as Sophie Dahl was excellent with her Scandinavian accent and young Harry Tayler played a sympathetic young Roald.
A pleasant enough way to pass the time
