We have been christened by spunk inspired by Stephen Fry. Perhaps not miraculous. Perhaps always pompous. Perhaps always hilarious. Who better than nearly omnipresent Roger Allam to be the vessel of Bard Fry's venom? I say: Absolutely none. The supporting cast did not always rise to the occasion. Some of the editing could have been better. The boiler plate mansion seemed a bit tired. All in all, it was a good time. Fry's ability to poke fun at mystical and religious tom-foolery never flags. Even an offended fairy-believer would have to howl occasionally, if she had a sense of humor. It's good to see Fry's work presented well, even though I would hardly expect him to think so.

I liked this movie. Though there isn't any laughs nor does this movie creates any suspense but after 15 minutes into the movie you kind of hooked to know what's it really all about. Acting wise the Ted Wallace (Roger Allam) character does a reasonable job and kind of carries the whole movie on his shoulder.The voice over might not appeal to everyone but i think it gives us the perspective of the main character and what's on his mind. Overall the movie is not that bad, if you want to pass an hour and a half then sit, clear your mind and enjoy.

The Best Movie you will see this year ... maybe, ever. Mystery movie, comedy, philosophy, how often does this caliber of film come along? Not a single wasted line, not a single flop character, this script has something for everyone. Intellectual Entertainment film has become a rare commodity, tight well written scripts, impeccable line direction and cast delivered lines accompanied by spot-on timing have become a thing of the past. Photography is perfect. I don't give tens ... This is a ten.
