This was a fantastic family film which all ages will enjoy. The transition scenes between imagination and reality were filmed really well and provided lots of laughs throughout. It reminded me of my younger years and how much freedom we were lucky enough to have back then before areas got so built up with housing. There were plenty of laughs for children and adults alike through the film. The cast were all brilliant and the characters they portrayed were fantastic and relatable. Lots of powerful messages about friendship and teamwork throughout. It was a great film to remind children (and adults alike) of the power of our imaginations.
This was truly an exceptional watch. It's not just about the comedy or the entertainment-it goes much deeper. It's a reflection on our existence, our future, and the generations yet to come. It's all about our connection to nature. It captures the boundless imagination of a child, envisioning a dream that offers breathing space not just for children, but for the entire universe.
I truly admire the entire story, especially the heroic leadership displayed by the children. Every family should watch this movie-not just for entertainment, but to absorb the valuable lessons it imparts. Protect the trees, encourage children to enjoy nature, and foster a spirit of unity among them. This film shows that even adults will be inspired to step forward and support them.

Watching this movie not only made me smile, it also prove that with a strong enough imagination, you can always have a great time with friends.
Couple that with the references to Robin Hood and you got yourself a great family film. As an adult, though; I can't help but feel ashamed by the soft-hearted minds of some of the parents in Longsight. One mother's kid gets a tiny scratch on his forehead and she has him wearing a neck-brace?!
Pathetic!
I DO agree on the "No Hits Above the Shoulders" rule, though (or as some LARPers call it, the "Triangle of Doom.") Overall, this movie was a blast!!!

There's something undeniably entertaining about this one. It doesn't try to reinvent the wheel, but it embraces its concept with enough warmth and energy to make for a fun watch. The idea of reimagining the Robin Hood story in a more modern, playful way is a solid hook, and while the execution isn't flawless, there's a charm to it that makes up for its shortcomings.
One of the biggest strengths here is the cast. Even the younger actors deliver solid performances, bringing a sense of liveliness and heart to their roles. They make it easy to root for the characters, even when the story treads predictable ground. There's a sincerity to their performances that adds to the film's appeal, making it feel like everyone involved is having a good time. The themes, too, are well-intended-friendship, loyalty, and standing up for what's right, all delivered in a way that's accessible without feeling too heavy-handed.
That being said, there's no denying that parts of it are a bit silly. The story follows a familiar trajectory, and there aren't many surprises along the way. You pretty much know how things will unfold from the start, which takes away some of the tension. But despite that, the film has enough heart and lighthearted fun to keep things enjoyable.
It may not be groundbreaking, but it's an easy, feel-good watch with plenty of entertainment value. The performances, especially from the younger cast, help elevate it, and while it's predictable, it leans into its warmth and charm in a way that makes it worth checking out.

This is such a beautiful film. First of all I want to say Darcy's professionalism and maturity in leading this film can not go ignored. Watch her future! Exceptionally gifted actress. Of course Naomi Harris is just an incredible actress and enjoy her performance and of course Gwendaline Christie who is a legend. Aura is a wonderful character!
Mark Williams and the rest of the cast, just wonderful.
I enjoyed the connection to nature, the imagination and the generally the storyline. Such a beautifully filmed movie!!
A lovely family film. I would recommend this to anyone. So uplifting and warm.
