PROJECTION
"...photography is bright and colourful, which adds a little magic to what could easily have been a depressing mope of a movie but emerges as a likeable, sweet, hopeful gem."
COLDHARBOUR

MR. KRISPIE -
"So, that’s two paragraphs taken up with slagging this off in comparison to the original... can I make it three? "
