Movie Reviews

Monthly Film Bulletin - 6/10 by MFB CriticsCarol Reed's direction... although showing touches of bravura in staging, fails to establish a rhythm which could provide a momentum for this whimsical and, in the context of its realistic surroundings, ambitious story.
User Review - 10/10 by Scott AIt makes me proud to be British! Perfect, brings a smile to my face just thinking of it..
User Review - 10/10 by Stephen DAfter "The Third Man" and "Odd Man Out," Carol Reed scales down and focuses on a small boy and a horned goat in poor Post War London. Superbly written and acted, but far too British to get any exposure on this side of the pond. Director Julian Temple used the same camera style in 1986's "Absolute Beginners." A quiet understated masterpiece.
User Review - 10/10 by gary twow umn just seen this movie 4 the 1st time n think that this is a really good british movie 2 watch..its got a great cast of actors/actressess throughout this movie..i think that celia johnson, diana dors, david kossoff, joe robinson play good parts throughout this movie...its a good 1950's movie..i think that the director of this Drama, Comedy, Kids & Family movie had done a really good job of directing this movie because you never know what 2 expect throughout this movie..its got a great cast..i think that "the unicorn" was really kewl in this movie..its a good movie 2 watch
User Review - 10/10 by lynne lBEAUTIFUL CHARMING FILM ABOUT THE INNOCENCE AND MAGIC OF CHILDHOOD..
User Review - 8/10 by Jay SA really good British movie. It was heart-warming and really enjoyable to watch. The "unicorn" was so cute :)
User Review - 8/10 by Karsh Dlovely fantasy comedy. a young boy thinks he has a unicorn which will bring luck to his family and loved ones
User Review - 6/10 by Jeff BAn okay family film directed by Carol Reed about a boy that believes the goat he bought is a unicorn and can grant wishes. It's a sweet story with a pretty good cast. The boy is a little too overtop ("it's a UUUUNICORN!") but you get used to him. It's a harmless little film that has some nice touches throughout.
User Review - 6/10 by Tara HA kind of urban fairy tale, set in the East End's famous Petticoat Lane market. A little corny, but Carol Reed's direction, plus a fine cast and beautiful colour photography make for a charming diversion.
User Review - 6/10 by Sarah BLovely film about a boy with an overactive imagination who improves the lives of the people around him: spoiler it's not the unicorn who grants the wishes, it's the boy's influence. Beautiful stuff, just erratic. Not Carol Reed's finest, but a fascinating precursor to his masterpiece: Oliver!
