...the giant tree monster—in many scenes an actual animatronic creation, in the “Kong” tradition—is a formidable, fantastic effect, and the design and animation of his tales is first-rate...

...if you let the film in, it’s unlikely to let you leave the cinema with dry eyes.

This is not just a film about grief; it’s a film that immerses you in grief’s journey.
