Lovely

Rating: 7/10 (12 February 2011)

The story of a family who moves to the countryside, the unhappiness of the city-girl daughter, and her immersion in an alternative world where her family and the world are just what she wants and what she misses in her real one.
The animation and atmosphere are awesome, as well as the whole aesthetics of the movie. Although the script is predictable, it is original and dark in the right amount, so keeps the viewer engaged. I loved the design of the garden of the alternative world, the family of neighbors in the real world, and the fight against the witch, and the decomposition of the fake world into a nothingness that is white. The script also has a few cheeky things for adults, too.
It is a good movie, very entertaining. Pity that the script was a little too simplistic.
