Excellent August 22, 2008
What a charming film with the late great Bob Peck. I knew nothing about this film, even though it was shot near where I come from in Keighley, until I read about it in MADE IN YORKSHIRE. It is also based on true events which happened in Yorkshire.
I had thought it must be dire otherwise I would have heard about. How wrong I was. Was it shown in the cinema ? I have a job tracking it down but found a copy in the Keighley lending library.
Check it out as its well worth watching.
Truth and Photography June 6, 2007
A story of the magic of a medium, long lost in the throws of our digital and cynical age. If you love photography, this will please your every sense, particularly the scene in the darkroom under the stairs, where the story is revealed by a ray of sunlight !!!! Absolutely beautiful !!!
Why isn't this film available new ?????

As old as I am I enjoyed this film with my granddaughters and was captivated by the magic. I revisited my childhood innocence as I watched the smiles on the children's faces light up. A warm family portrayal of a hoax borne from two little girls from England, who wanted to keep the magic of fairy land alive, in today's society we have many dreams dashed, re-visit your inner child and re-live that childhood dream of fairies and queens, goblins and kings!

It's not very often that we see a children's film that so effortlessly captures the spirit of imagination while also steering clear of mawkish sentiment and clumsy moralising, but this film achieves all this and much more.Children will love the story about two young girls who fool so many silly grown-ups into believing that fairies really do exist. Adults will appreciate the film even further for the clever allegory that it offers us. The charming innocence of the girls is a snapshot of the innocence and naivety of Britain itself as it happily strolled into the slaughter house that was World War One, convinced that it "would all be over by christmas". The images that the film gives us of cynical, exhausted troops, many horribly wounded, coming back from the front line say more about the futility and anguish of war than any number of over-blown Vietnam-fests. This is a remarkable film, beautifully acted to a literate and intelligent script. Your kids will love it and so will you.

This is a beautiful film for small and/or adult children. I watched it by coincident on tv about a year ago and thought it was just so beautiful! I would strongly recommend this if you like films such as "Picnic at Hanging Rock" among others that gets your imagination going!
