Young and Prodigious T.S. Spivet, The
Canada / France 2013, 105 minutes
Dir. Jean-Pierre Jeunet
Rating: [M] Offensive language
Genres: Family, Drama
Synopsis: A ten-year-old cartographer secretly leaves his family's ranch in Montana where he lives with his cowboy father and scientist mother and travels across the country aboard a freight train to receive an award at the Smithsonian Institute.
“a dreamlike fairytale, which swims in the romanticism of childhood and the decay of the American Dream.”
Aroview: The director of AMELIE's first American-set feature is another fairy-dusted vision brimming with child-like wonder and as a road movie narrative is a satisfying trip for those aged in double digits.

5 stars (Exceptional) Stunning, intriguing, funny and interesting. Highly recommended for adults and kids over 12, say. Unless they're prodigious! The Smithsonian staff are treated a bit harshly compared with the freewheeling country folk. Very imaginative! ~Sandy
3 stars (Good Enough) Excellent production values and very easy on the eye photography. The story is entertaining and original but it would have helped if the young main character had have been alive. ~Tubbs
