Cinema Cindy Reviews: The BFG
By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB“The BFG” is a hybrid animation/motion-capture/live-action film from Steven Spielberg based on the 1982 children’s book by Roald Dahl. Even if you don’t know the book (as I did not), you may find the film delightful and entertaining, as did I.

Then he was in the Academy Award nominated film Bridge of Spies, also last year, for which he won Best Supporting
