An uncomfortable watch that I can't really recommend. There's a lot going on here, and it demands your attention. Yet the content drags, forcing you to deal with various uncomfortable themes for longer than you'd like to. I would definitely have been happier if I had gone my whole life without having to see that little girl and grown man kiss.
There was some good displays of imagination in this film, and I liked the approach to things such as the junkie father who kept going on 'vacation'. There's no doubt that the film is very effective in what it's setting out to achieve with showing how the imagination of a child can help them to overcome traumatic events. But for me, there wasn't enough good or engaging content here to outshine the bad and tedious.
