The best films of this genre always show a path and provide a takeaway for being a better person.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

The magic in this movie is the message. The characters are wonderful examples of normal and good people. This is a movie about understanding people, the unexpected ways of nature and life, storytelling and books. It is also a family movie so you can watch with kids and they will enjoy it. A simple movie but with a marvelous script. Go have a really nice time with this movie and collect the message it has to give you.

I am really glad, that two of my fellow commentators brought it down to the point: this a bland movie. A very strange and unsuccessful try of a kind of "Amelie"-movie, that doesn't work at all. There is not a single surprise in the plot. You can see every turn five minutes before they happen on the screen. Terrible casting of Jessica Brown Findlay and Jeremy Irvine. Good performances by Andrew Scott and Tom Wilkinson, which prevent me from giving it a one-star-rating. Don't waste your time on this.

A very cool movie, has involved us, a strange girl, incidentally, several strange people, but who can form a harmony, one of the poetry movies we see, too beautiful !!!Let's keep an eye on the new filmmaker, Simon Aboud who previously made the film "Comes a Bright Day" in 2012, as well as short films and also screen films. He is married to Mary MacCartney, Paul's first wife, and Linda MacCartney. The cast has great talents and the talents of Tom Wilkinson, a renowned actor in many great films (The Exotic Marigold Hotel of 2011).A way to tell story so that it causes glamor, the best of cinema, loved it!

A nice story, walking on the steps of Amelie, but not really getting there. The story focuses on a young woman, who is peculiar in her own ways. She likes her own routine. Everything changes when he next door neighbour complains about her garden, that she had left to go wild. She is forced by the landlord to maintain it, else she should leave the house. However, she is scared of plants and nature. In addition, she takes in her neighbour's cook, who he mistreats, and she meets an ambitious inventor in the library where she works. All in all, the story is cute and sweet, with the garden, the odd girl and the relationships she forms with the people who unexpectedly appeared in her life. However, it felt like something was missing, like something in the romance, or the love triangle (if there was one to begin with, though there were some traces of it and hints here and there). The garden stories were nice and some of the scenes really beautiful. So, 6 out of 10.
