Skellig

Journey into a world of hope and discovery with the sumptuous adaptation of David Almond's acclaimed, award-winning novel. A young boy discovers a strange, winged creature hidden amongst the shadowy cobwebs of his decayed garden shed. Together with his new friend Mina, Michael befriends this extraordinary being whilst his baby sister clings to life in an incubator. But Skellig is far more than he seems and his presence will change Michael's life, and the lives of his family, forever. Featuring an all-star cast, Skellig is a magical and inspiring tale of friendship told with a compassion and sensitivity that won't fail to touch your heart.

  This is a lovely film, it feels strangely old fashioned although it isn't, a feel good type of film - perfect for a lazy Sunday afternoon
