Last night I watched Millons on Film4. I know it is such a lame and unoriginal thing to say but it was really is Shallow Grave for kids. Having said that, it does have a certain charm about it in its child characters that make it very appealing. The themes of consumerism and religion are tackled in an interesting way. The problem is though, as much as I like Danny Boyle’s films, I can’t help but feel that I’ve seen it all before in a much more gruesome, grittier, swearier form. Having said that, I imagine that it’s probably a great family film if you remove all the Shallow Grave comparisons and judge it as a film on its own merits.
