Millions

Saturday 14th February 12:00 PM

Synopsis

Two boys discover a fortune. What are they to do with it? Nine-year-old Anthony is for investing and schmoozing; seven-year-old Damian is for making lives better. Damian is a child-expert on the saints, who are surprisingly practical when he discusses things with them. Why, St Claire even smokes roll-ups (it's allowed, in heaven). Boyle and screenwriter Frank Cottrell Boyce conjure up a child's-eye-view of something resembling Shallow Grave that avoids sentimentality while seeing the best in people.

Critics

“A family film of limitless imagination and surprising joy....one of the best films of the year.”

Roger Ebert, Chicago Sun-Times
