Critic Reviews for The BFG

All Critics (2) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (1)

A giant tale of imagination with a dark side.

Heather Boerner
Common Sense Media
The movie is slight and unimpressive, decent enough to charm young viewers, but too rough in spots to wow the way the better Dahl-based films have.
