IF is a decent family movie that ticks all the right boxes. Cute and weird creatures? Check. Charming leads with good chemistry? Check. An emotional heartbeat centred around a father and his daughter? Check. A message about using your imagination to make your world a better place? Check.

The movie stars Cailey Fleming as 12-year-old Bea, whose father (John Krasinski, who also directs the film) is undergoing heart surgery in New York, so she ends up living with her grandmother’s (Fiona Shaw) apartment.
