Best film sonfar this year
I wasn't going to watch this.. seemed to whimsical. However the lead actors are superb, esp. The inventor. Portrays a man uncomfortable in himself, nervous but with drive and a good heart. His characterisation esp. At the start is sad and beautiful. The robot he invents is funny, and somewhat like an adolescent teenager. The views of Wales are spectacular and heart warming.
This won't win film of the year as mot sufficiently high brow. Yep, the bad family in the village are 2 dimensional and the ending is a little 'Walace and Gromit', but I was intrigued, touched and tickled throughout. This was definitely a film worth making and worth seeing now and 50 years from now. While the story is simple, the filming, directing and characterisation of the lead characters os spot on. I could have watched 5 hours of this film.
Don't watch it if you are looking for a complex story, action or horror, but do watch this if you want something that will warm your heart in an original and amusing way.
