Peter Bradshaw Guardian 10h
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 Clarisse Loughrey Independent (UK) 10h
4/5
Farnaby keeps it fresh and witty, combining the wordplay and low-stakes surrealism of his roots in The Mighty Boosh and Horrible Histories with a keen eye for literary adaptation. Go to Full Review Philip De Semlyen Time Out 10h
3/5
The Magic Faraway Tree isn’t on Wonka’s level, let alone Paddington 2’s... But with the cracking cast, thoughtful message and the odd rollicking adventure, it’s a fun family movie that’ll finally give you permission to switch off the wifi. Go to Full Review Cain Noble-Davies FILMINK (Australia) 1d
15/20
Leave the angst of the real world at the door, get on your Wellies, and go for a climb. Go to Full Review Grant Watson Fiction Machine 1d
7/10
It does not reach the heights of Paddington 2 – what does? – but it does present an excellent all-ages fantasy comedy for the upcoming school holidays. Go to Full Review Read all reviews
