As clunky as the movie can feel, there's a winning toughness to its unsentimental view of childhood and its nostalgia for a pre-digital age. Jul 13, 2017 | Full Review…

It's a charmingly old-fashioned family adventure - one that you can imagine several generations of a family gathering to watch on a rainy grey Sunday afternoon. Aug 15, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

It's a strange kettle of fish, this adaptation of Arthur Ransome's beloved Thirties children's book, but bizarrely enjoyable for its sense of freedom and derring-do. Jul 28, 2016 | Rating: 4/5 | Full Review…

Decent enough: but probably best savoured on the small screen after tea on a rainy Sunday. Jul 24, 2016 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

It's heartening to see Ransome's fiction taking on a new and more independent form, suggesting an ongoing relevance for a series of books that could easily be viewed as too dated for modern children. Jul 24, 2016 | Full Review…

The Enid Blyton-esque, picture-book-pretty vibe of the production is irresistible throughout. Jul 6, 2018 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Parental supervision is little more than a wry nod of approval in this natural light-drenched adventure that comes complete with three old-fashioned cheers for the grumpy housekeeper who nonetheless makes them a cake before they set off. Dec 28, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

I'll leave the new version to an audience who are either coming to Ransome for the first time or found him a bit dull... Because I'll have to concede, albeit through gritted teeth, that they might like this all-action, espionage-soaked adaptation. Oct 18, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…

Celebrating childhood innocence and the power of imagination, this old-fashioned charmer might ultimately appeal more to nostalgic adults than kids in the social-media age. Jul 14, 2017 | Full Review…

This is the sort of nostalgic, dreamlike family film parents and grandparents will find -- perhaps more so than their offspring -- perfectly pleasant viewing. Jan 25, 2017 | Rating: 3/5 | Full Review…
