Description

Inspired by Scottish legend, this feel-good comedy follows the antics of the solitary forest elf Ghillie Dhu who becomes friends with a girl lost in the woods. When she is unexpectedly whisked away by her mother, a forlorn Ghillie sets out on a quest to find his lost companion. Years later, in the city, Ghillie meets Jessie Macrae, a plucky teenager determined to win favour with her high-flying mother by becoming a renowned hair stylist. When Jessie discovers that Ghillie has a gift for hair styling, they strike up a unique partnership which causes chaos for the manager of the chic hair salon and catapults Jessie to fame. Thanks to Ghillie, Jessie’s dreams are within reach, but will this meeting of two worlds be enough to overcome the deep hurts of broken relationships through the generations?

    [Spoilers] This film really shines for all ages in the end. Aside from the comical stunts, Jessie and her roommate help Ghillie acclimate to the modern world, and the circumstances that drive the mother-daughter narrative forward, so when a major twist happens in the end of the film, the viewer is in absolute shock! I sat bolt upright in my seat, simply amazed by a sudden realization, which was emotional and deeply significant for several characters, and the acting was so powerful in that moment that it made me cry. The acting is, indeed, solid by all main characters in this film, and the direction is on point as well. With the surprise ending, Jessie and the Elf Boy is an adventurous and heartfelt ride for all who believe in modern fairy tales.
