Stevecorp Don't listen to the negative reviews

Arianna Moses Let me be very fair here, this is not the best movie in my opinion. But, this movie is fun, it has purpose and is very enjoyable to watch.

Kirandeep Yoder The joyful confection is coated in a sparkly gloss, bright enough to gleam from the darkest, most cynical corners.

Dana An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

apophus6 A thoughtful and sensitive film. Several intriguing plot turns and all the possibilities of time-paradox without the usual (which I generally don't mind either)"earth shattering" consequences. Nice blending of real life dramas effecting so many young people today and a compelling story line that succeeds in convincing the viewer that lives can be altered in a positive way by the virtues of courage and compassion. Overall, a great story for young and old alike, a believable cast and the beautiful backdrop of the English countryside. It is a shame that this one did not get widespread distribution, it could have been one of those sleepers that reaches nearly cult status and even awards. See it soon.

M Stanford "An Angel for May" is the kind of film that I'll want to see again and again. One could call it a British "It's a Wonderful Life." The film is intriguing, inspiring, and inviting, a study in contrast and coming of age. It shows a wonderful juxtaposition of the 21st century and the WWII era. The Yorkshire countryside, as portrayed in the film, is lovely, a stark contrast with the effects of the war on England. There are also the contrasts of old vs. young and tough vs. gentle. The acting is quite good: the children playing the lead roles are fabulous, and I'm always a fan of Tom Wilkinson. Some of the special effects are naive -- the WWII planes in flight are not very authentic-looking, for example; and what bombardier in his right mind would bomb an empty moor? But all in all, this is a great "feel good" film, a story that can make you think about the purpose of your life in its time and place.

JornB A young boy travels back in time to WWII and meets a young girl with some serious problems.Show on Swedish television as a child TV-series.I actually love this movie, it got all ingredients needed. An excellent cast, with lovely performances from Charlotte Wakefield as May and Matthew Beard as Tom. A great story that sweeps you off your feet (I have a soft spot for "but-what-happens-in-the-future-if-he-does-that-now" movies). It's the small things, the details that make this movie awesome. And even though I've seen it three times now, I still get teary eyes and all warm and cuddly inside seeing it.

eldamar I enjoyed this film very much, having seen it advertised in the TV guide, I eagerly awaited to see it. I actually know Matthew Beard, so was with great delight to see him acting in a major role. I enjoyed the film not only for the fact that the acting was brilliant from all the cast, but the story-line itself was very cleverly written.
