The Odd Life of Timothy Green


IMDB
First time viewed: Yes
Current Release: Yes
Watched With: Myself

This is one of those magical realism films, feels more like a fable than a straight drama with more fantastic elements. It has a sincere tone that is in danger or tipping the scales at every moment into the overly sentimental drama or the fantasy fariytale. It mostly does a pretty good job of walking this line.

Everyone seems pretty in tune to what the tone should be. It has some fairly predictable beats but I'm not gonna complain because it's kinda nice to see what feel like a classic live action Disney film again. No doubt this will be a favourite for a new generation.
