    The film manages to have an epic, mystical air at many times, despite having very, child like, dream like, down to earth tones in others.

    ★★★★

    Really nice portrait of

    Between individual and ideas.

    Ideas of family. Of community friendship etc.

    Well executed portrayal of this I think.
