Critical reception


The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "A crisp, clear, unpretentious and oddly touching little film. It has all the right ingredients for a children's film – an exciting but not too implausible story, experienced and reliable adult players, a minimum of dialogue and, above all, a director with a narrative flair and a rare gift for evoking natural responses from child actors. There is a splendid suspense sequence at the climax, plenty of casual humour, and even a touch of visual poetry."
TV Guide noted "Definitely for the younger viewer."
