I can't recommend this film enough. It is meticulously shot to create a beautifully watchable piece of art, yet the subject matter is gritty and at times harsh. Three children making a journey alone with a donkey is a brilliantly funny concept, but the poignancy of the reason for their travels makes it all the more appealing. A wonderful story of life's cruelties, the resourcefulness of the young and of sibling love. The child actors are astounding, especially rising star Molly Windsor, and they are solidly backed by the big names of Tara Fitzgerald and Mark Addy. All in the best traditions of classic British film-making. Set to be a classic I'd say.
