The fantasy scenes ... do not resonate with the mythic power of those in Pan's Labyrinth, but this is as moving a coming of age story as one could want.

sort of awful, but it goes places most conventional children's entertainments fail to go

Radiates with youthful imagination and the joys of using it to abandon the everyday.

Una película entretenida y emotiva sobre la idea de la pérdida, el dolor, la culpa, y sobre todo de la imaginación como válvula de escape. No es el típico pasatiempo inocente que promete; es mucho más interesante que eso.

It's the sort of movie I admire more in retrospect than I did while watching it.

It's a rare film that gives children an honest voice that doesn't talk down to them. Yet at the same time, there's also a solid film inside for adults to enjoy as well.

A bittersweet, if ultimately uplifting, coming-of-age tale touching on a litany of themes, including fantasy, friendship and family.

I was alternately charmed and disappointed ... The movie is certainly light years ahead of the mediocre television adaptation but it is not quite the definitive version of the story, despite the strong screenplay and fine lead actors.

...there's a third-act twist that brings some much-needed gravity to the proceedings.

...from an adult's perspective, I found the film lacking in the very creativity that its story line promotes.

Director Gabor Csupo does a fine job of weaving together the realities of life for ten-year-olds with the magical world Jesse and Leslie share.

Robb spreads her energy around like it comes from a deep well at Exxon.... and everything is affected by it.

Adapted from Katherine Paterson's novel, this beautifully drawn family friendly film explores the power of the imagination, bonding two like-souls as they create their own world, far away from their bleak everyday.

A magical tale that doesn't become maudlin when many films of its ilk could have. A beautifully touching performance from AnnaSophia Robb
