I think in the end it was a very heartwarming movie. Yes it had a lot of sad parts and it was slow at times but I’d say it was a good movie.
I haven’t watched a movie where there’s like an animal as one of the main characters in years but I think it was amazing how all of it was made.
Also Ethan Hawke is an incredible actor which I think a lot of people already know but oh well.
