She plays Fern, a woman who many will see as having lost everything. Gone are, her job, her husband, her home, even her town has been reduced to empty domiciles and a nonexistent postcode.

These circumstances have not destroyed her. She has dealt with all the loss by hitting the road and living the life ...

The Croods: A New Age Movie Review
The production looks amazing as the colour palette almost sears the eyes. It’s filled with such oversaturated hues, you almost need sunglasses.

If anything it might throw a few too many ideas in the mix.

Its quasi-documentary style feeds into this sense of heightened reality.

Like many tales that have come before, those that go ...
