Fairytale quest
I Capture the Castle
Stars Tim Fywell, Romola Garai, Marc Blucas, Henry Thomas, Rose Byrne, Bill Nighy, Tara Fitzgerald. Rating MA.

Reviewer: PTE Simone Heyer
This movie is like so many others set in Britain early last century. An inseparable family live in an old castle (this time in Suffolk) and have all sorts of encounters.

There’s the eccentric writer-father Mortmain (Nighy), who began renting the castle to write his first book. After holing himself up in a tower for 10 years, there was no follow-up novel and the family was living on the breadline.
