Heartfelt family drama with ghosts and scary fire scene.

7/10

a reminder of how enchanting a fantasy can still be if not taking over by digital imagery, if it has a few interesting characters and a few nice touches of plotting

Has there been a movie with such an artificial and unengaging style since... well, the fifties?

Movies are supposed to whisk you away, to make you get lost in their stories. I never got lost in From Time to Time because I was continually aware of the pieces being assembled before me.

2.5/5

This family film - that mixes Regency ghosts and a rambling, secret-filled mansion - lacks oomph and charm despite its top shelf cast, including Maggie Smith and Timothy Spall.

The biggest problem standing in the way of the film's success is that it is neither a full-on family film nor a grown up drama - and the ending is both sombre and flat.

Great feel good movie to take you back into your childhood of mystery and family. Fantastic cast!

Could be a damn good story. But problems kept distracting me from being interested. Dialog is unaware of how actual human speech works. Characters (and writers) can't decide if ghosts are ghosts, or ghosts are time travel. Alex Etel and Douglas Booth are unbearably untalented.
