Aroview: A splendid and skillfully-told fantasy drama in which a 12-year-old boy faces his mother's terminal illness, his strict grandmother, estranged father, and school bully, and is visited by a tree creature who determines to get to the truth through a series of stories. Based on the novel by Patrick Ness, who also adapted the screenplay.

3 stars (Good Enough) The tree is excellent and is backed up by some good special effects. Unfortunately, the kid gets over screechy but the screenplay is worth the time. ~Tubbs
