I'm not the target audience for this - I expect a child may get a lot more mileage out of this than I did. There's not much plot or characterisation to speak of, just a series of strange events. I understand P.L. Travers didn't like the film but I think it improved on her work. Olivia Coleman does a magnificent job narrating this, I felt like she was in the room reading me a bedtime story.
