Millions

A sweet little fable that comes out of the gate really strong, but kinda unravels trying to keep the sense of wonder alive. It's about a young boy who finds a bag of stolen money. He and his brother struggle with the sudden wealth. Their mother is dead and the young brother has visions of saints, urging him to give the money away in a saintly manner. Danny Boyle's electric style really keeps the story moving. But as the movie goes along there are just too many complications. The father gets into a relationship. The robber comes for the money. The pound is being discontinued for the Euro. And the movie bounces between this kind of fable and a disjointed thriller. I found the ending to be too much and frankly a little confusing. Still, overall it was fun to watch and really slickly produced.
