Not at all a children's movie despite the fantasy premise, this is surprisingly quite a dark mystery tale, even if it is a bit too whimsical for its own good. The film puts a unique spin on ideas about fairies, and it has some things to say about believing what one wants to believe. Both the audio and visual effects and interesting, there is some nice gliding cinematography and the music is very fitting too. Still, the film fails to answer some pressing questions, some sequences add little to the product, and lastly towards the end it really drags, taking much too long to finish. But either way, it is one of the most creative, oddly fascinating British films that I have seen from the 1990s.
