FULL SPOILER-FREE REVIEW @ https://fandomwire.com/if-review-a-heartwarming-blend-of-animation-and-live-action-that-surpasses-expectations/ "IF is a delightful surprise that exceeds personal expectations. The skillful blend of 3D animation and live-action brings creativity to a layered, profoundly moving narrative, which explores sensitive themes in a truly genuine, reflective manner while successfully conveying a crucial message about the importance of never forgetting the child within us. Cailey Fleming delivers the best young performance of the year, further enhancing the already highly emotional story, much like Michael Giacchino’s lovely score. As a writer-director, John Krasinski once again demonstrates his innate talent by creating a movie all families can enjoy and cry together. It will linger in the audience’s memory for a long time." Rating: A-
"Bea" (Cailey Fleming) arrives to stay with her grandmother (Fiona Shaw) so she can be near her father (John Krasinski) who is having cancer treatment at a nearby hospital. It's a fairly traumatic time for everyone, but it also becomes quite puzzling for the youngster when she encounters "Blosson", "Blue" (who's actually purple) and their handler "Cal" (Ryan Reynolds) living in the apartment upstairs. She quickly discovers what an "IF" is, and is introduced to loads of them, now adrift in a world where their original partners have grown up and forgotten them. "Cal" and his friends are trying to re-home these friendly and creative critters, and so "Bea" takes an hand helping out. Their first target for a new friend is the friendly "Benjamin". He's a patient in the same hospital as her dad, prone to breaking his bones and though outwardly cheery and good-natured, cuts a rather lonely sight in his room. As the story continues we begin to suspect that it's not just him that needs an "IF". Sure, it's derivative at times, but there's an engaging effort from the young Fleming and the sparing use of the colourful and well integrated visual effects along with some cheery scripting and a few amiable supporting characters that could easily inhabit any toy-box (I liked the bear and the tasting marshmallow) wired well. Also, Reynolds takes enough of a back seat not to impose his presence too firmly on the proceedings. It's an amiable story about family, loneliness and growing up that encourages folks to use and enjoy their imagination. I wasn't really expecting to, but I did quite enjoy this.
"If" is a whimsical and heartwarming film directed by John Krasinski. Starring an ensemble cast including Ryan Reynolds, Phoebe Waller-Bridge, and Fiona Shaw, the movie takes viewers on a fantastical journey into the world of imagination. Krasinski's direction brings a perfect blend of humor, charm, and emotional depth, making it a delightful watch for audiences of all ages. The narrative is both engaging and thought-provoking, exploring themes of childhood wonder and the power of belief. With its stellar performances and enchanting story, "If" is a cinematic treat that leaves a lasting impression.
"What if I told you imaginary friends are real? And when they're kids grow up, they're forgotten." An "If" is the imaginary friend a child has when they are young. It is a comfort and a companion to get them through the growing up years. But where does the imaginary friend go when it is used up. Apparently, the word "imaginary" needs to be changed. Bea, played by Cailey Fleming, is a 12 year old girl who lost her mom at a young age. Now her father (John Krasinski) is sick too. Bea moves in with her grandmother to stay near the hospital. Soon she starts seeing everyone's former Imaginary Friends. She is guided by Ryan Reynolds. They are sad and need to be reunited with their formers. Some of those "friends" are pretty creepy. The film, written and directed by Krasinski, aims to be kind of like a live action "Monsters, Inc". It's really an idea that can only work in animation since it takes out that sense of reality that makes it look too silly. The plot just seems like an idea that has difficulty finding a believable footing. It might work for young kids, for me it just seems forced and overly sentimental. It's easy to watch since Krasinski obviously handled it with care, and Reynolds seems to enjoy his role. But for me that just isn't enough.
