    Was not expecting to weep so hard.
    I went into this thinking "oh a sweet fantasy movie and I always love mamoa" Let me tell you that I just wept my eyes out harder than I have in a while. On the surface. Yes, this is a family friendly movie, with silly and light-hearted aspects, and yes it's fantasy, and from a child's perspective... But dreams are something that we all experience (sometimes avoid) and I think this movie and the director did an excellent job at striking the heart through them. The underlying meaningfulness of what it's like to experience grief and the dreams that come after grief, The visits with loved ones that slowly fade, the desire to stop dreaming and avoid the hard experiences within them. This movie allowed so much deep emotions to be met in me as a viewer, and I'm grateful it exists. One that I will show other people while awkwardly staring at them with a big grin on my face hoping they feel as strongly as I have while watching it.

    Not My Kind of Movie...But....
    For me, this is not a movie I would generally seek out at all.

    I don't like storybook movies. Hated Harry Potter so much. These phantasmagorical movies with cute little stuffed animals that come alive and all kinds of fantasy CGI.

    Further, I don't really like movies with kids as the central point. As a rule, I don't like kid actors at all.

    So I got roped into watching this movie with family.

    Well, guess what?

    It's actually a good movie! Surprise to me. It's a decent story with a kid who isnt annoying and some characters that are fun to watch.

    Give it a try. You might be surprisd like I was!
