The Magic of Belle Isle

This is a lovely feel-good film with characters that aren’t afraid to tell it as it is no matter who they’re speaking to. There’s some great characters and comic moments that you really warm to as they each attempt to battle their demons alongside a stunning lakeside setting which surprisingly we don’t see that much of as the focus is on the residents, who win Wildhorn’s charm with their innocence, who in turn does good to them. I love his interaction with Karl and the time they spend together. I loved the clown scene at Willow’s birthday party and Monte’s efforts to save the day from any misdoings. It’s nice to think that Wildhorn bonds nicely with Charlotte, but I wasn’t keen when the relationship attempted to head towards a physical aspect. I also like the innocence of the stories, especially when Finn’s passion is brought to him. It’s a story that suggests that there’s hope for us all. We just need to find our inspiration.
