9/10
Immensely attractive fun

Warning: Spoilers
I only leave off one star because I'd have liked to see this movie just a fraction darker. But otherwise, it was really delightful in every way. The concept of the Star was exceptionally original.

My spoiler is in my comments below re the book.

I think others have said it all re the movie, which we will want to see again (and perhaps again!) I'd just mention the book which is charming although slightly too fey in style to be perfect. And it's rather sadder than the movie - with something of the same fate for the Star as Elrond sees for Arwen in Lord of the Rings, the only difference being we don't know what happens to the Star eventually. That said, a very good read, don't miss it!
