  • The BFG follows the story from the original Roald Dahl novel pretty accurate, which I appreciate as a huge Roald Dahl lover since childhood. His stories are always so whimsical, fantastical, and strange in a good way and all of these themes are present in the BFG movie.

The BFG Review
7/10

Steven Spielberg's The BFG is a technically impressive adaptation of Roald Dahl's novel - one with whimsy and heart to spare.
