"An Angel for May" is the kind of film that you will want to see again and again. The film is intriguing, and inspiring, a study in contrast and coming of age. It shows a wonderful juxtaposition of the 21st century and the WWII era. The Yorkshire countryside, as portrayed in the film, is lovely, a stark contrast with the effects of the war on England. There are also the contrasts of old vs. young and tough vs. gentle. The acting is very good, the children playing the lead roles (Charlotte Wakefield as May and Mathew Beard as Tom) are fabulous. All in all, this is a great "feel good" film, a story that can make you think about the purpose of your life in its time and place
Overall, a great story for young and old alike, a believable cast and the beautiful backdrop of the English countryside. It is a shame that this one did not get widespread distribution, it could have been one of those sleepers that reaches nearly cult status and even awards. See it soon
In general, try and see this film anywhere, as it is outstanding. Thanks to Mr. Cokeliss, and everyone involved in making an amazing film
The book by Melvin Burgess is also excellent
