If you want to see an INCREDIBLY left wing film that stands for everything that Trump and Farage hate, and is also totally brilliant and has the most beautiful autumn scenes since Frozen 2, can I recommend you book #Wildwood asap?

It is genuinely shoulder-dropping to see a piece of culture made without fear of the current White House administration and their desire to pave paradise and put up a - well, another golf course and a ballroom. This is a magical film about nature and what is worth fighting for, often literally.

I asked a group of exhilarated children if they thought it was too scary for my 8yo niece. “I’m 8, and I didn’t think it was scary!” said one. “Hmmm,” said her dad. (I think will swerve for the niece til she’s older but plucky children and lovers of Narnia, Tolkien, Robin Hood etc will adore.)

The battle scenes are realistic and consequences of actions are everywhere. This is also, astonishingly, a stop motion film, and the end of the credits takes you enchantingly through a brief run of how each moment was made and moved by hand. I would watch a whole doc on this.

There is a lot of grief and unmanaged trauma here - Princess Mononoke for kids with “dads who collect figurines” as is wonderfully mentioned in passing. It’s a lot and it’s enchanting. Go to Wildwood and leave as exhilarated as that group of bold kids. www.empireonline.com/movies/revie...
