The real joy in the film lies in watching what started out as barren land gradually bloom over the years.

There's a sense of joy around the kids' participation that has at least as much to do with their parents.

Thedin is excellent in the central role, perfectly balancing Jill's wisdom and insight with her vulnerability and sometime naivety.

Wang proves adept at slowly and gently building up the onion layers of this family as more and more of them come into each other’s orbit.

For all the postmodern presentation, every emotion here ultimately rings true, and there are enough great ideas, oddball characters, amiable performances and big laughs to ensure that this remains a cult favourite.

A fantastic adaptation that manages to surpass its source material while staying entirely true to its spirit.

Perfectly captures the eerie atmosphere of Neil Gaiman's much loved story.

Sharply acted all round, evocatively lit in bright Eighties colour, and perfectly paced, Heathers is a technical tour-de-force.
