Grim

Rating: Null/10 (4 June 2020)

This film has a slightly darker visual and narrative style than the usual Pixar film, in an attempt to get closer to historical fairy tales. The setting is dark and foreboding. The danger feels palpable. Yet I think a lot of this misfired. Although some of the sights and set pieces were engaging, overall I could not sympathise with Merida who felt stubborn and foolhardy at times.
