Paddington, 2014 - ★★★★½


Paddington is so meticulously crafted that it's difficult to criticise it in anyway. Perhaps the opening Peru based sequence goes on a little too long but once in London the film never puts a foot wrong. Not a moment of the film is wasted with every shot setting something up for later, looking beautiful or just being charming (or all of these things). The attention to detail and production design out does Wes Anderson's The Grand Budapest Hotel and the visual FX are better than Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes.


An utter joy.
