Linda Marric HeyUGuys 4h
4/5
It may not redefine the genre, but it delivers a cheerful, imaginative escape that should keep family audiences thoroughly entertained. Go to Full Review Sandra Hall The Age (Australia) 1d
3.5/5
I doubt that Enid Blyton ever visualised a future in which children scorned books in favour of games and stories which played out on portable screens. But that’s what’s happening in the new film of Blyton’s The Magic Faraway Tree. Go to Full Review Peter Bradshaw Guardian 2d
4/5
A thoroughly likable and sweet-natured family fantasy film for the Easter holidays, with acres of innocent jollity and eccentric quirkiness. Go to Full Review Nikki Baughan Screen International 19h
While the addition of the wider family story does give this adaptation some dramatic impetus, it is at its strongest and most charming when it leans into its child-like magic. Go to Full Review Peter Gray The AU Review 1d
3/5
An amiable, gently charming adaptation – one that embraces imagination over logic, even if it occasionally leaves you wishing for a little more substance among the sweetness. Go to Full Review Jim Schembri jimschembri.com 2d
2.5/5
The classic tale is brought sufficiently to life in this pretty-looking, if overlong, update...takes a tad too long to get to the magic...The visuals are good and there’s a nice piece of work from Nicola Coughlan, a bubbly Faraway Tree tenant. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
