This is really bad. Over produced over acted and questionable casting to say the least. I think it was too many cooks in kitchen so in the end it was just noise. The Emma Thompson character was to central to the story and not something that would resonate with children of any ages. Maybe this was more in tune with what the author what have wanted super dark and for adults but the project is marketed to children and that is a big shame to introduce this level of darkness when you are targeting children. In the end it was just a lot of noise and there wasn't only one good performance, that of the lead who plays the girl Matilda. What a waste of good material and a big budget.
