The Magnet - Refreshing Simplicity for Children
12 November 2021
What a refreshing sight this film was to be enjoyed with my ten year old son, who by coincidence, was the same age as the protagonist in this film. I shuddered to think that Joseph might be able to act in a similar fashion on several occasions when I was not present, but I trust he will not. The film is funny, sharp-witted, and intelligent in its satire. The British have an understated way of delivering these kind of gems to the screen; whereas Hollywood always goes for the big production values and star power most of the time. Only the small independent filmmakers in America have a chance at making a film like this. See it and enjoy. And be careful buying your son or daughter a large magnet.
