    Almost as sweet and poignant as the comic, and to my surprise: still wordless! 
    I also liked the little shout out to Varon’s Chicken and Cat books.

    A bit of a mess, but then how do you follow those books. Sam Rockwell is absolutely brilliant, though!

    Very competent. Pretty suspenseful in a low key way, and good comic relief from the stateside film industry guys.

    ★★★★

    The overall story is very simple, revolving around two young sisters living with just their father while their mother is in hospital. I love the way the magical elements are integrated as if they are completely natural. The spirits are a matter-of-fact part of this world, even if not everyone can see them.
