This is one of my favorites and I rate it as one of the best family films this year!īad: I can't think of a thing that I didn't enjoy about this wonderful period piece that carries a profound message about life and death. There are several scenes of thought-provoking conversation about what it would be like to live forever and an interesting confrontation between Kingsley and a priest about eternal life. Kingsley plays an intimidating villain called "the man in the yellow suit" who, in the book, is merely a shadowy metaphor for evil. She and Jackson not only have great screen chemistry together, but their innocence will make you smile and remember that "first love" feeling.

Based on the American children's classic by Natalie Babbit, the story centers on a teenage girl Winnie (Bledel), who longs for a life outside the control of her domineering mother (Irving). He concluded by saying it was his favorite scene in the movie! But he added it to the movie because he wanted a discussion between "evil and good" on the "heavenly perspective" of eternal life.
