Cinekid Film Award - Honorable Mention |
Incredibly good movie portraying every emotion! A must watch, especially if you are feeling a little hopeless.
OK so firstly i didn't read the book i have no idea what I'm going to watch but from the trailer i knew it was about birds.This is a story that I thought was going to be a sad story because there was a problem with the baby's (Grace) heart and I thought that she might die because of how Skellig just didn't care and was just lying down in the tower not caring about Michael's problems.
Recipe for a good movie. First, as the base, you take an award winning novel, two awards in this case are better than one, then you add a generous portion of creativity, from Brignull and Jankell you could hardly expect anything less, and finally you throw in the right amount of great talent which the casting people (whoever was responsible) were not stingy about doing.
This is a fantastic movie. The performances are so good that this has to be the most realistic family movie I've ever seen.
The highlight of Skellig was Tim Roth's acting. I feel that the film was just not really that great at all, just not as good as the Book by David Almond.
A beautiful and compelling movie...I read the book when I was fourteen years old and never forgot it, in fact I loved it so much that I was determined to make a movie after it.
Unfortunately at present there isn't the function to give a rating for Skellig due to it's current status on IMDb, but if there was one I would rate it 10/10.I saw Skellig on Sky One last night, and although it was a little on the long side I thoroughly enjoyed it from start to finish.
Skellig was one of my childhood books and it has stuck with ever since I was 10 years old (at my school there were two camps for a little while, the Chamber of Secrets camp and the Skellig camp, I was in the latter). I was always sure that in the right hands it could translate into a great film, but was never sure who's hands those were.
