Elijah Wood as Strawn Wise and Nell Fisher as Mildred looking up at something in fear in Bookworm.
The Big Picture If you’re watching a movie where Elijah Wood plays a character who wanders out into the beautiful lands of New Zealand, you know it’s going to be a long trek to reach the destination. Alas, while the actor’s latest film Bookworm shares the same shooting country as Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings films, it also does a great deal of wandering around, while persistently lacking in cinematic wonder.
Bookworm AdventureFamilyComedy Eleven-year-old Mildred's life changes dramatically when her single mother is hospitalized, prompting her estranged father, a washed-up magician, to come to New Zealand to care for her. Seeking to bond and potentially solve their financial woes, they venture into the wilderness in search of the mythical Canterbury Panther
The troubles come in that Timpson’s film falls prey to repetitive comedy beats and often awkward dramatic ones. I hope you like jokes about magic and extended references to those like David Blaine because there are enough in this movie to last many lifetimes. The problem is most of them rely on the same premise about Strawn being not very good at doing tricks.
