Excellent, a Must See
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

This is a surprising little gem of a film that takes a slightly hackneyed premise and brings it to life again. A boy, child of a modern family, seems to be acting up. Then he disappears. But things are not as they seem in this heartwarming drama about a young boy learning to trust, and a young girl learning to love, in this tale of two times in one place. The acting is fine and understated, but Tess the dog will still steal your heart! The film has a realistic sheen to it, rather than the usual mistiness associated with films of the genre, and this ordinariness heightens the quality of the drama. What is more, the film is not set in London, as so many are. There is little else I can say without spoiling your enjoyment of the film.

This is a very sweet film, about a young boy who is able to time travel, but he does so for his friend, May. There were some interesting surprises,and the plot left you always wondering. It is sort of like a MUCH nicer "Butterfly Effect", but still, all in all not the same, but MUCH better. I would recommend this for adults and children alike, and the children may not understand at first, but the message of kindness and caring will surely come through, as May's Angel is a young boy himself. While they have Irish accents, the cast is not hard to understand at all, as they have a very light brogue, and not the heavy accents you see in some movies. Highly recommend to see, if you get the chance.

"An Angel For May" is a pleasant surprise. It is a story of an unhappy boy who is transported back in time to World War II England where he meets and is befriended by May, a victim of the Blitz who has been evacuated to the country after being trapped in the ruins of her family home for a week.Tom's presence seems to heal May. However when Tom is transported back to his own time he learns the fate of May and the family who took him. Tom then struggles to return to the past to save May and the family from their fate.SciFi fans will recognize the principle that you can't change the past and others will enjoy action/adventure of this family drama.

This film was the best thing on Uk television all over Christmas.I have since watched it three times and it hasn't lost its appeal at all.I think it is such a unique story.The acting is of a really high standard from actors so young. I also like the way it shows how the young and old can feel for each other without writing each other off because of the generation gap.A truly moving and pure tale!
