If you are a fan of Arthur Ransomes books about children in the early 1930s enjoying life and adventures with boats etc. then you will love this film. It evokes memories of childhoods gone by where imagination was key to having fun.
The film is pretty close to the book, as any good film can be as some bits have to be missed out but in this Sophie Neville has done a sterling job as it does not detract from the original story in any way.
Watch it and then be like me and wish they had made films of more of his books.
Three Million Cheers.
