Please ignore all the negative reviews. The original film is a childhood favourite of mine, so I did hesitate before watching this.
However, I absolutely loved it! Unlike some remakes, it has stuck to the original story. There were a couple of 2021 references in the early part, but not so as to distract from the story.
Simon Callow was wonderful as Mr Blunden, the perfect modern-day choice in my opinion; indeed, I enjoyed the performances of all the actors. Also lovely cameo by Madeline Smith.
That there are so many racist comments saddens me, particularly as it's probably people the same age as me. Shame on all of you.
