It's not bad but not great

Rating: 7/10 (18 May 2017)

I think the intent of this film is admirable. Technically accomplished and executed well, the film however is nothing more than feelgood fluff, designed to evoke an emotional response, with no meaningful nor insightful content.
Let me be clear, this is the kind of fantasy that you don't want to tell your children, and definitely not the kind that adults should indulge in too much. It is the very same kind of fantasy that Disney makes during the 90s that resulted in a generation if entitled millenials, that are now becoming the world's first crybaby, tantrum throwing segment of the population who never wants to grow up and find every excuse not too.
We shouldn't approach death by telling lies and fairy tales about it, such as telling a child that if he only needs to believe and visit Neverland if he wants to visit his departed mother.
No.
Such an act is destructive to a child's ability to mature and endure the real world, no matter how well-intent you want to be. Reality isn't something you can escape nor avoid for long and it is a necessary experience it if you want to live in it.
The film did succeed modestly in demonstrating how to approach life, which should be commended but overall, a fluffy piece that is not worth a second view.
