Great movie. Wouldn't call it scary by any stretch, but very moving and affecting.
Definitely reminiscent of a Guillermo del Toro film. Fantasy mixed with reality. Children as the main characters. Like a modern version of Pans Labyrinth. Beautiful, sad, filled with fantasy and wonderful characters. Not a horror movie but still a really good movie. If you like del Toro, you will like this.
beautifully done and raw with poignant acting touches that do not leave your memories
Hard to watch due to subject matter but it was well made with great acting.
Didn't like it. That's all
