Krabat: The Sorceror's Apprentice (2008) German fantasy drama. Done very well with a polished production but definitely a coming of age movie in actual fact as the fantasy elements are secondary. Not enough sorcery and where there was some it was all allegory of peer group bonding and theatrical initiation (a la university). The most interesting character "The Gevatter" was kept mysterious which was a plus but on the whole it was a very unenjoyable, predictable, cop out of a film. It could have been truly exceptional if they took some risks instead of playing it timidly safe. If you like coming of age films and seeing a character going on a "journey" and other cliches you will lap it up though.

Rewatched because wife wanted to see it.

She was impressed, me a bit more from my first watch. Hard to find flaws in such a smooth narrative, complete with moments of sheer horror. Appreciate the film for what it is, and you will love it as much as I did.
