Movie Review: Bridge to Terabithia

My Rating: 9/10

At last, a movie that understands the magic of storytelling. This is a poignant film about friendship during the wonder years. It's misleading to expect fantasy storytelling to be the cornerstone of this film. Instead it highlights the evanescence of life. The two child actors deliver a heartwarming performance. The film is based on a premise we can all identify with when we were kids: School... its challenges and the diversions we create to blend in or fade out.

A movie about kids that's not for kids. Be warned, it's a tear-jerker. With compliments, a very well executed film that concerns itself with brilliant story and great directing. Don't expect too much of the visual effects, feature films like Narnia will run cirlces around it. Look out for the magical moments shared between two friends, immerse yourself in a child's world, a colourful world we've left behind a long time ago, a world we get to relive again in this movie.
