Eternal life isn't paradise life comes and goes while they remain, as one Tuck puts it, "like rocks." Winnie learns all this after elder Tuck son Miles (Scott Bairstow) spirits her off to his family's remote cabin lest she reveal their existence patriarch Angus (William Hurt) intimates that the family may even have killed to protect its secret. They've remained the same physical ages ever since, their bodies healing instantly from injuries. His settler family drank from a spring which, to their astonishment, proved the literal fountain of youth. At least he looks 17 he later reveals that he's actually 104. Bolting from home after receiving an ultimatum, she stumbles upon 17-year-old Jesse Tuck (Jonathan Jackson) deep in her family's woods. The story revolves around headstrong 14-year-old Winnie Foster (Alexis Bledel), stifled under the corsets of her parents' expectations during the summer of 1914. Majestic performances by its adult stars and a surprisingly complex one from a young actress best known for TV's too-cute-by-half Gilmore Girls lift this adaptation of Natalie Babbitt's classic children's novel past its plot holes and into a state of lightheaded grace.
