Una


Sorry if I missed something obvious but was there a reason that Una (Tristan's mother) didn't seem to have aged in 18 years? Loved the film but always thought she looked too young to have a grown up son! (and I think in real life the actress is only a few years older than Charlie Cox)

I assumed because she lived beyond the wall, she didn't age as quickly.

Although, I thought I saw an attempt to age her with a bit of grey hair when she tells Tristan she's his mum. But I could be mistaken.

I think the father looked too old, actually - He was quite young when he went over the wall and then it was only 18 years later so I assumed he'd be in his late 30s.

Nathaniel Parker (Older Dunstan) is 19 years older than Ben Barnes (Young Dunstan) and about 18 years older than Charlie Cox so the ages are more or less right

I always assumed the reason she did not age was because she was sorted enchanted to that witch. I could be wrong though.

80% of the time she's a bird, so I guess she didn't have much time to age.

She's a bird alright.

In the book she is enchanted / part fairy (more so than her brothers) so i'm assuming that is why. The movie was extremely faithful to the book - they cut some parts for content / ratings (i.e. the unicorn getting killed) but overall a great adaptation.

Bird, schmird. She may be on her two feet, but she's a cougar to me! Seriously, that woman is stunning.

Seriously, that woman is stunning.
You got that right!

I just wondered why the poor woman had on the same dress for 20 years.

You can tell they tried to make her look older, but she still looks fantastic!
