The Odd Life of Timothy Green – review

6 hours ago | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »

This painfully sentimental, would-be magical tale centres on a small-town couple (the husband works in a pencil factory, his wife is a tour guide at a pencil museum) whose desperate prayers to be parents are answered one stormy night when a lovable 12-year-old climbs out of a hole in the garden and greets them as Mom and Dad. The only magical aspect is the golden glow provided by cinematographer John Toll.
