Film: Brave

Reason for watching it: I have read a lot of analysis of the film, some strongly positive and some very angry, and I was curious to see it.

Circumstances of watching it: A nice relaxed evening with cjwatson and his younger two kids.

Verdict: Brave is a lovely story about a mother and daughter, and gorgeously animated, while I'm somewhat ambivalent about the Hollywood "Scottish" setting.

( detailed review, with spoilers, mentions child abuse and racism )

Reading Wednesday: Still reading and enjoying The Dervish House by Ian McDonald; nothing much more to report.
