Indeed, what are we to make of a movie about a teenage girl who poisons her mother? That's really what we're talking about here: The daughter gives her mother a poisoned cake that turns Mom into a bear. To be sure, this approach makes the mother-daughter interaction more realistic, but it also invites the viewer to see the characters in realistic terms, and to judge their actions accordingly. Indeed, the movie may tilt the balance too far in Mom's direction, so that the film's ostensible heroine ceases to seem adorably spunky and becomes more like an awful brat. Merida may have problems with Mom, but the audience sees Mom's point of view as well. Instead of presenting its characters as archetypes of either good or evil, "Brave" offers something different. **** Excellent *** Good ** Fair * Poor See More Collapse Rated: PG for some scary action and rude humor
