Winter’s Tale, gritty good vs. evil film
that feel-good feeling…
Movie review:
Winter’s Tale
2014
Rated PG-13
118 minutes
Starring Colin Farrell, Jessica Brown Findlay, Russell Crowe
Winter’s Tale offers a gripping combination of magic, miracle, young love, and gritty good vs. evil plot lines. It’s just what you need to guarantee the feel-good feeling as you finish watching the movie some night soon.
Using words to describe it is a challenge. Winter’s Tale (2014, rated PG-13, 118 minutes) creates the characters and then rushes to convergence at the end: Beverly (Jessica Brown Findlay) imparts her miracle to Peter (Colin Farrell), Peter fights evil to create goodness, the girl will live, the magic horse prances into the sky, and love conquers all.
This is a tale about a world as we would like it to be, and the kind of love we all wish everyone could have. It’s proof that the slightest breath of angels can make magic.
