Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
Something's alive at the bottom of an uncharted pond, and 10-year-old adventurer Cody (Henry Thomas of ET) is determined to find it. Director Trenchard-Smith sets the action of this children's movie (involving aboriginal magic) in a remote town in southern Australia, constructing the parallel worlds of doting adults and their irrepressible children as a foundation for his adventure in minutiae. The real adventure, however, is Trenchard-Smith's rediscovery of boyhood, with all its inventiveness, innocence and independent, fearless strength.Author: SGo
