I don’t know why this was in my queue, although it has a stellar cast, especially Ian McKellan. And a soundtrack by Philip Glass, which is not really a plus for me. (Too many iterations of Einstein on the Beach in my salad days.) I hate the feeling of dread that a movie is about to get violent. Perhaps it’s a spoiler to say this one never gets as violent as I feared. My hat’s off to the writer/director. (I kept thinking about Bridge to Terabithia and, less so, Ink. If you only see one of these, it should be Ink.)
