PREVIEW: The Magic Faraway Tree (2026 Film) - Starring Andrew Garfield, Claire Foy & Nicola Coughlan

Preview by Jon Donnis

Entertainment Film Distributors has shared the first teaser trailer and poster for The Magic Faraway Tree, which reaches cinemas across the UK and Ireland on 27 March. The film is adapted from Enid Blyton's much loved classic by Simon Farnaby, known for his work on Paddington 2 and Wonka, and it is directed by Ben Gregor, whose credits include Black Ops and Brassic. The early look makes it clear that audiences can expect a lively mix of grounded family drama and bright magical escapism, helped along by a cast that brings both warmth and eccentricity.

The story centres on Polly, played by Claire Foy, Tim, played by Andrew Garfield, and their three children. The family is uprooted and moved to a quiet corner of the English countryside, which sets the stage for their discovery of a tree that hides more than it reveals at first glance. The children soon meet its unusual residents, with Nonso Anozie as Moonface, Nicola Coughlan as Silky, Jessica Gunning as Dame Washalot and Dustin Demri Burns as Saucepan Man. Their travels to the strange lands that appear at the top of the tree push them into moments of joy, confusion and wonder. Through these journeys, the family begins to understand what they have been missing and slowly finds its way back to a sense of closeness that had been lost.

The Magic Faraway Tree will be released by Entertainment Film Distributors in UK and Ireland cinemas on 27 March 2026.

REVIEW: Altered (2025 film) Starring Tom Felton, Liza Bugulova, Richard Brake, Igor Jijikine and Aggy K. Adams.

Review by Jon Donnis

Altered arrives with a premise that feels strangely close to the direction our own world is drifting toward. You can almost sense that familiar knot in your stomach as the film lays out its alternate present. A society rebuilt after nuclear fallout. A shiny new world split cleanly by genetic privilege. The setup is strong and has the sort of grounded bite that gives science fiction its punch. You can see the truth in it, even when the plot leans into spectacle.

Tom Felton carries much of the weight as Leon. He has an easy charm here, a kind of battered sincerity that stops the film from slipping into pure pulp. His partnership with Liza Bugulova's Chloe feels warm and lived in, which helps when the wider story starts piling on its themes. The pair scrape by in the Special District, where the air is thick with rust and resignation, and their scavenger life has a real texture to it. The pace moves nicely as well. At a little over eighty minutes, it never drags, and you can settle into it without feeling as though you are signing up for a marathon.

The trouble is that the film keeps nudging you with messages instead of trusting the world to speak for itself. It grabs at every political idea it can reach. Genetic inequality. Healthcare access. Corruption. Class war. Propaganda. All of it thrown in at once. Instead of building a layered picture, it tips into something a bit cartoonish. You find yourself wishing the script had picked one thread and given it the time to breathe. The modest budget also shows. Some sequences in the Genetics District have ambition, though now and then the effects wobble just enough to pull you out of the moment.

Still, Altered has a spark. The world feels interesting even when the storytelling falters, and the central relationship keeps the whole thing from collapsing under its own weight. Felton does good work with what he is given, and there are glimmers of a sharper, more focused film lurking underneath the noise.

Altered is a clever idea that never quite blossoms. It rushes through its themes, leans too hard on political shouting, and lets its thin story drag down a strong concept. Even so, it is watchable, reasonably brisk, and held together by Felton's steady presence. A generous 6 out of 10 feels about right.
