The Secret of Moonacre (2008)
A Charming Fantasy Film with Some Gem Acting
I was charmed by this film and amused with Ioan Gruffudd's role here. I have to say he's actually a bit hilarious when he's angry. He struts about his keen acting skills with a natural edge. One scene in particular gives me a rather visceral reaction. (It involves a raw egg.)
I've seen some negative reviews and comments calling it silly, but it is in NO WAY any sillier than any Disney film! (And the Disney film won't have been made on a bargain budget.) If you dislike fantasy, then this film isn't for you. But some of us love fantasy regardless of age!
The animals add so much to this film. While watching, you can tell the main dog used is nothing but a big fluffy, marshmallowy sweetheart! I was impressed with Dakota Blue Richards in her subtle acting abilities and her interaction with the rabbit.
I can't recommend this film highly enough. It's child friendly but not child exclusive if you've a penchant for fantasy and don't mind a long gander at Ioan Gruffudd.
