" 8.2/10 A pristine family picture boasting nostalgia, warm fuzzies, and endurable characters. The production design and visual effects are noteworthy and do the job in providing a beautiful palette for this story about family, love and life."
"Directed by Paul King Starring Nicole Kidman, Peter Capaldi, Hugh Bonneville, Geoffrey Palmer, Sally Hawkins, Samuel Joslin, Jim Broadbent, Matt Lucas, Julie Walters, Madeline Harris, featuring voices of Imelda Staunton, Ben Whislaw, and Michael Gambon "
