The BFG - Avis

A marvellously melancholic motion-capture performance by Mark Rylance and vibrant support from rising star Ruby Barnhill provide the beating heart of this extremely likable adaptation of Roald Dahl’s family favourite...

The BFG is big friendly giant of a film from a director who knows how to make films on that note and on that scale.

Not only does it recall the likes of Gulliver’s Travels, it reminds us what fantastical fun can come of a large cast as well as a large character.

The BFG’s greatest strength is its simplicity. This is a film built for children that delights with fantastical details while gently pushing a heartfelt message about the power of dreams.

It’s totally delightful, watching Sophie navigate the BFG’s home turf...

Steven Spielberg creates a landscape of astonishments...

Det är inte alla förunnat att kunna förvalta Roald Dahls absurda och finurliga tassande i gränslandet mellan det genuint otäcka och frigörelsen i komik och uppmuntrande fantasi.

...en reslig film som sträcker sig flera snäpp över Spielbergs höga lägstanivå.

Hvis en film kunne fungere på charme alene, var Den store venlige kæmpe en selvskrevet klassiker.
