Molly Moon and the Incredible Book of Hypnotism (2015)

best movie i've ever seen.

The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

This is a dark and sometimes deeply uncomfortable drama

Molly (Raffey Cassidy) is an orphan at the Hardwick House where things are not joyful. She is friends with Rocky (Jadon Carnelly Morris) who gets adopted and leaves. Molly obtains a book on hypnotism and manages to visit Rocky and become a star far beyond her talent.The theme of the film is unorthodox families and to believe in oneself. There is the formula clumsy crook after the book with his mother played by Joan Collins whose Botox face doesn't belong on screen anymore.Appears to be geared at kids 7-9 years old

Basically I watched this with my sister on her request and, to be honest, I was cringing like hell in the first 20 minutes while my sister swooned all over the place. I didn't get much enjoyment out of watching the film to be honest, but it was actually a good try. I understand making a good, solid film is a very difficult thing to do, but even though this wasn't first-grade, it was actually a decent attempt at making an actually watchable film.The highlight was that me and my sister were trading jammy dodger memes long after the film had finished xD

Before watching this movie, I didn't really have high expectations. I didn't know anything about it, and from the rating on IMDb (as of now: 5.4/10, with 738 votes), I was just expecting some B-movie. Well, I was very surprised in a GREAT way. I was really moved by this movie, even to tears, and moved my heart to think of my life and priorities. It truly was a great movie. And now I'm listening to the song at the end credits.... <3 A great, touching, moving end. Thank you producers, actors, and support roles in all capacity of this movie. It will most likely remain in my heart for a lifetime, when I think back on movies that touched my heart/inner being.

A lovely family film highlighted by a wonderfully magical performance by Emily Watson. As usual, Watson lights up the screen in every scene in which she appears and the power of her talent irradiates the entire film. There is no doubt she is the most gifted actor of our time and her career is marked by one magnificent performance after another. Even in featured or supporting roles, she somehow manages to dominate the screen and make even an average motion picture something very, very special. This film is certainly a fitting showcase for her stunning work and hopefully what she does here will be well noted and remembered at Oscar time. She is quite overdue for an Academy Award and it is a scandal that she was not bestowed one by now for the inspired performances for which she's been nominated.
