movie blurb...the promise

from ChristianityToday:

The Promise is an aesthetic experience as much as anything. And while that was perhaps not the director's intent—there is a certain earnestness about the story that belies its philosophical aspirations—the movie is delightful nonetheless. It's a fairy tale for adults that allows the viewer to inhabit an entirely different world, and in doing so, becomes an exercise of the imagination. And that's the sort of exercise we can all get excited about.
