A computer screen or an iPad doesn’t quite feel like the right way to view Scorsese’s big-canvas, big-budget, 3D family picture, but we’ll say this: it’s such a delightful charmer that it certainly doesn’t need all the bells and whistles. Take them away, and you’ve got a heartbreaking story of a lonely kid, the warm tale of his budding friendship with a spectacular girl, yet another pitch-perfect Ben Kingsley performance, and about the most entertaining lesson in cinema history you can imagine.
