With a sharp, knowing script and stunning visuals — Paddington is expertly rendered in flawless CGI, while London is portrayed as a vibrant, whimsical playground — and a cast packed with top drawer British talent,
this truly magical film can't fail to delight audiences of all ages.
Gone are Depp and Bonham Carter, and the trailers seemed to hint at the sort of
magical realism that peppered Big Fish, his last
truly interesting
film.
