All the mastery--and love--of cinema at Martin Scorsese's command is distilled into one engrossing, magical film.

Remaking the celebrated Swedish cult film Let the Right One In with the same thoughtful, meditative vibe, similar directorial style and pretty much the exact same story might seem like a dumb idea—the original is damned good on its own, and screw people who think reading subtitles is too much work. But Matt Reeves creates an excellent film that stands proudly beside its Swedish original. Mostly he can thank his excellent lead actors, Kodi Smit-McPhee and Chloe Grace Moretz.
