Entrancing and gorgeous

Rating: 9/10 (10 February 2018)

I am so glad that i saw the movie at an odd time, mid week and quite late in the night in a small cinema, cause i was sobbing so much near the end. The story feels fresh and touching .. and the colours are so vibrant and simply amazing.
The storytelling was not interrupted by forced musicle sequences, but what music did happen felt like a natural part of the story itself. Characters were likable and relatable .. with none of them really being flawless, yet deep enough (for a kids movie anyway) to be complex to care about.
This was such a great movie with a great message without resorting to preaching it.
Coming from a culture that does not really celebrate death .. it was especially fascinating and even made me a bit jealous to see such customs and family.
I can fully recommend this movie in theaters or BR alike, it is a great experience.
