Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them review -- a winning spell
2016
Overview
The main injection of fresh blood is into the cast. A prequel of sorts, the film takes as its starting point the origins of the wizarding school textbook Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them. As the book's author, Newt Scamander, [Eddie Redmayne] gives an endearingly gauche turn. All pigeon-toed angles and stuttering rushes of enthusiasm, his great gift to the character is a crippling diffidence. He delivers much of his dialogue staring at people's shoes or elbows, only risking the shyest of self-effacing glances to meet their eyes. He's part earnest conservationist in the David Attenborough mould, part hapless innocent in the vein of Henry Fonda in The Lady Eve, and Newt has barely arrived in America before he finds himself in trouble with the Magical Congress (Macusa).
