In a satisfying confluence of source material and director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet brings his signature abundance to bear on [this] richly stuffed adventure.
Full reviewFamily adventure from visually frenetic French filmmaker Jean-Pierre Jeunet (Amelie), directing this English-language adaptation of Reif Larsen’s debut novel. A 12-year-old genius secretly leaves his family ranch in Montana to receive an award at the Smithsonian Institute, where they have mistaken him for an adult. Co-stars Helena Bonham Carter.
In a satisfying confluence of source material and director, Jean-Pierre Jeunet brings his signature abundance to bear on [this] richly stuffed adventure.

Full reviewFor all it boasts in ingenious style, this genial American yarn lacks the delicious bile of Jenuet’s early days.
