The eponymous star of the film is Timothy, without a doubt. The otherworldly boy who gives everything away 'because that's what you do with gifts' is simply irresistible. The character is adorable, the actor who portrayed him very gifted and natural.
The story may have some flaws, and the adult characters are a bit wooden here and there, but still, it's a sweet little film with a good heart, that's very watchable of your in the mood for something innocent and nice for a change. As a matter of fact, I don't get the cantankerous, borderline malicious 1 star reviews at all. How cynical and sour do you have to be to actually *hate* a film like this? As much as the mill-owners, or even more? Don't be like them. Be like Timothy instead. ;)
