This is a very interesting and compelling mix of drama and fantasy. The great acting delivered by 3 amazing actresses spanning 3 generations turns this simple albeit intelligent plot into a delightful experience. One through which we can all feel for the main characters and step into their shoes.
As some of the other reviews in here already mentioned, the script is a bit far from perfect. For instance, the government men are a somewhat pitiful caricature, lacking any semblance of character, and the sheriff character also lacks more development, but overall this is a very nice movie and I would like to see more like this.
Last but not least, I can't help but stress the fact that the lead and the child actresses are absolutely amazing. Gugu Mbatha-Raw is so photogenic I bet she can even look good in surveillance footage. The little Saniyya Sidney is so cute she almost makes me wish I had kids. The rest of the cast turns out ranging from "good" to "good enough".
Finally, extra points must be awarded for the central role of Punk Rock, in the incarnation of X-Ray Spex. If you don't watch this movie, at least go and listen to X-Ray Spex!
