    Wow, why did I wait so unbelievably long  to give this watch?

    I procrastinated on a truly amazing film—a top-notch low-stakes but high-emotional thrill ride that absolutely killed me emotionally.

    I am in agreement with everyone that is is travesty that this film does not have any academy award nominations.

    This should be nominated for best picture, best original song, and best editing, and the actors should be nominated for their selected roles.

    The animation for one was stunning. I find it a rare but beautiful experience when…

    I enjoyed this about as much as Night, but some parts are a little bit less so.

    First off, I'd like to preface that I watched one of the longer cuts of this movie. For some strange reason, it was the only one available on Prime Video. That being said, I think this movie drags a bit compared to Night.

    The film feels like it's spinning its wheels in the mud a bit too much. Showing the characters adjusting to…
