Overview

• Alexa Goodall, 13, makes her first leading film appearance as Momo, a girl who listens closely to others and lives in a decayed Roman amphitheater.
• Martin Freeman portrays Meister Hora, the guardian of time who helps Momo confront the mysterious time thieves.
• The film centers on the Grauen Herren and their Zeitsparkasse, reviving Ende’s critique of greed and the erosion of human connection for a modern audience.
• The ensemble includes Araloyin Oshunremi and Laura Haddock, with Danish actors Kim Bodnia and Claes Bang, and German actor David Schütter as Brutus.
• An early take from Berliner Morgenpost argues the remake leans on familiar science‑fiction touches and does not recapture the first adaptation’s magic.
