Millions film review offers gentle family heart
Danny Boyle directs a PG family drama about Damian a seven year old mystic and his brother Anthony as a suitcase of cash triggers saintly deeds. The brothers face a countdown as Britain moves to the euro and a menacing figure appears chasing the money. The film combines whimsy with real world grit and leaves a warm yet pointed finale.
