Matialth Good concept, poorly executed.

Voxitype Good films always raise compelling questions, whether the format is fiction or documentary fact.
Senteur As somebody who had not heard any of this before, it became a curious phenomenon to sit and watch a film and slowly have the realities begin to click into place.
p.newhouse@talk21.com This is a surprising little gem of a film that takes a slightly hackneyed premise and brings it to life again. A boy, child of a modern family, seems to be acting up. Then he disappears. But things are not as they seem in this heartwarming drama about a young boy learning to trust, and a young girl learning to love, in this tale of two times in one place. The acting is fine and understated, but Tess the dog will still steal your heart! The film has a realistic sheen to it, rather than the usual mistiness associated with films of the genre, and this ordinariness heightens the quality of the drama. What is more, the film is not set in London, as so many are. There is little else I can say without spoiling your enjoyment of the film.
ExtremelyRowdy I liked this movie very very very much 'cuz the guy is a good person and he found out that he liked helping others even when he went back in time. May was cool too. I am still watching it so I do not know the end.I am at the part where he meets Susan and is asking about May. English movies are cool to begin with and so different than here in America. I am fascinated by time and sometimes I dream about the same stuff. Like what would happen if I was him and I went back in time? I have never ever seen a movie like this one and I am going to tell my buds about how cool this movie is. I think my family will like it, too. I hope they make more movies like this one. It is so awesome.peace STeven
dplomin I really enjoyed this film one night last month when it was playing on my cable TV when I was arbitrarily changing channels. Unlike American films which have to BLOW UP SOMETHING or have some guy getting a shot in the groin, this film was refreshing in its' depiction of young and old people who acted like REAL human beings, in the guise of a romantic/sad/uplifting ghost/time travel story. This genre is rare these days, and seldom done as good as this film. Kudos to the cast, crew, writer and ALL involved. TRULY, a labor of love!DaveChicago, IL
M Stanford "An Angel for May" is the kind of film that I'll want to see again and again. One could call it a British "It's a Wonderful Life." The film is intriguing, inspiring, and inviting, a study in contrast and coming of age. It shows a wonderful juxtaposition of the 21st century and the WWII era. The Yorkshire countryside, as portrayed in the film, is lovely, a stark contrast with the effects of the war on England. There are also the contrasts of old vs. young and tough vs. gentle. The acting is quite good: the children playing the lead roles are fabulous, and I'm always a fan of Tom Wilkinson. Some of the special effects are naive -- the WWII planes in flight are not very authentic-looking, for example; and what bombardier in his right mind would bomb an empty moor? But all in all, this is a great "feel good" film, a story that can make you think about the purpose of your life in its time and place.
