Thanks for the memories!

Fresh and Exciting

It's an amazing and heartbreaking story.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Excellent, strange Dark Fantasy with a great ending and wonderful actors--especially the little girl who is so demonstrative and natural you might think she is really a little farm girl the director found to play the part. There are so many unanswered questions here--gnomic things--and that is what makes the film so wonderful, uncanny, and, frankly, creepy.

Nothing about this film in any way constitutes it being a "thriller", and the title is a complete lie; there's nothing fairy tale-ish or fable-y about it at all. it's a plain, straight-forward drama about a little farm girl who discovers some rich big city man being held prisoner in her father's grain silo or something. We quickly learn this is part of a poorly thought out plan to ransom him for money because Ronald Reagan is evil and wrecking the economy so everyone's losing their farms. all throughout the film, the girl's older brother is almost mentally deranged in how needlessly belligerent and violent he is towards her, culminating in an inexplicable sequence near the end where he literally tries to stalk and murder her with a rifle, and ends up killing a random neighbor woman who came to check up on them.

This movie was pretty good! it was filmed really beautifully and the acting from the main character Giddy was executed really well. It was also told from her point of view which was really interesting. I don't know why most people from this movie hard to follow, i found it really straight forward. It's worth a watch.

This is an over abundance of ideas and no fleshing out.The synopsis insists there's a 'magical slant' but besides some beautiful cinematography and a single dream sequence, absolutely nothing is wondrous about it. The father is 'healed' from an accident and it's doesn't feel magical like the movie would want you to think, instead, feeling like extremely poor editing and writing.The characters are very one dimensional, and even with the large chunk of time spent 'fleshing them out', they're still weak, and have two to three character traits on them at most. Which would be fine if it truly delivered on some more magic.It's an extortion plot that probably could have worked better if there was more threat than the last twenty minutes. Even when Gitty's secret is discovered, it doesn't feel tense or as if something huge is about to happen, and in part, the awkward cuts hinder the flow. Scenes stop and the movie continues as if it didn't happen.I will give it this; It's oddly timely for the present day.
