After Beth Orton's less than successful collaboration with Ryan Adams and The Chemical Brothers on 2002's Daybreaker, it's great to see her on her feet again on the long-awaited follow-up, Comfort Of Strangers.

The recently-released animated film adapting these books is technically well made'the fantasy world the filmmakers have created is beautiful to look at'but the story is made specifically for very young children.
