Outgoing and perpetually restless, Alexandria befriends Roy Walker (Lee Pace), a despondent stuntman with a broken back and a broken heart, who tells her an epic tale cobbled together from movie clichés and his own shattered dreams, and involving a motley and colorful crew – the Black Bandit, a dreadlocked mystic who emerges from a blasted tree, an Indian prince, a former slave, an Italian explosives expert, and Charles Darwin, who travels with a talking monkey named Wallace.</div><div><br></div><div>Although the film revolves around a child, it's not a children's movie: a cruel and bitter undertone runs through the fanciful adventures, and Walker's depression is no mere plot contrivance to be cured by Alexandria's childish enthusiasm.</div><div><br></div><div><i>Selected by&nbsp;</i><i>Mollie MacGregor, Cinema Duty Manager</i></div>AdventurePT1H57M152026-09-23USen
