Rating: 3.5/4 -- Writer-director Bill Forsyth's 1983 film sneaks up on you. It takes its time. It reveals its characters through snippets of conversation and casual interactions. Full Review

4 stars out of 5 -- Forsyth's values -- humanity over corporate greed -- have never been more relevant.

5 stars out of 5 -- An enchanting fairy tale, all the more so for refusing to go for a cut-and-dried happy ending.
