Fly Away Home (1996)
7/10
Excellent cinematography, smart script and mature acting.

Those three are the keys to this film's secrets of success. The excellent acting performances by both Jeff Daniels and Oscar winner Anna Paquin make a very good chemistry between the two also. Paquin's character here was perhaps more complex and challenging than "The Piano". The no-nonsense smart script makes the film not restricted to the 'family' film category. The cinematography was nominated for Oscar and one can easily see why. The wildlife scenes can easily be compared to the superior programs we see on National Geographic etc. The end sequence was brilliantly filmed and is a treat to the eyes. In short, "Fly Away Home" is indeed a refreshing experience.
