"The Young and Prodigious T. S. Spivet" (2013) is like nothing you've ever seen. One of the year's best, with crossover potential along the lines of "Moonrise Kingdom" (2012) and "Micmacs" (2009). Given its quirky heart, it might well surpass them all. Its whimsical, free- ranging nature is often enchanting. Here is a movie that does the impossible: it combines the literary references of Mark Twain and Thomas Pynchon, and the cinematic influences of "Little Miss Sunshine" (2006) and the dark and quirky natured films of Jean-Pierre Jeunet. Good movies entertain; great ones come as a gift to the audience who are lucky enough to find them. This movie is a treasure. It could might as well be a genre-breaking classic.
