A few reviews

... but I really liked the film. I was crying like a baby when it all came together at the end.

Me too!

Though don't you think the film makers were purposely trying to keep it interpretive right to the end?
My examples that sort made me question what the true reality was are all based on Sophia's perspective....

--did she find a giant footprint or was it just a large puddle?
--Sophia sees the destroyed lifeguard tower
--Sophia sees the destroyed trains and fire

By having Sophia being present at all these moments, and having her seeing the aftermath each time, made me feel the filmmakers were trying to have it both ways.... leaving the door open to the possibility what we are seeing is real?

Regardless, I still enjoyed the movie.   It sort of reminded me of Bridge to Terabithia -- and I cried during that movie too!
