3.5/4

Everyone involved is in service to a story powered by a young female protagonist and her socially awkward male buddy. "Wildwood" isn’t just a fantastic movie — it’s a film that will make certain people feel seen.

5/5

With jeopardy, magic, battles, and talking animals, Wildwood has all the elements of a pure fantasy adventure, but it also has a depth that can’t be understated.

B+

At 130 minutes, Wildwood is overstuffed, and a leaner experience would have been more impactful. But this is a gorgeous, lovingly crafted tale made with heart, a keen eye for detail and a mind open to the world's many wonders.

the kind of movie that you will want to watch again the moment that it ends, partly out of sheer amazement over what you have just seen and partly in order to help absorb some of the things that you might have missed the first time around.

Somebody moved every one of those legs by hand, one frame at a time, and then did it again. I was lost in the story when that shot arrived, and it threw me straight out of it: the problem and the glory of Wildwood in a single image.
