The Giver

TAKE 1: One Mans Opinion
…because film is largely subjective

by Frederick William Springer III
The Giver
Release Date:  15 August 2014                                                          Runtime:  97 Minutes              
Review Date:  9 November 2014                                                       Rating:  5 (of 6)
     It's probably been 20 years since I read the book upon which the film is based, so I can't say with any certainty how closely The Giver is to the source material--there seemed to be some differences to my recollection--but as a movie it was solid.  As was the acting.
     (There even was an unexpected cameo, leaving me thinking, "Is that Taylor Swift?".  It was.)
