Moviegoers are saying
This original fantasy film delivers an emotional rollercoaster that has audiences both laughing and crying, with one reviewer noting how they and their nephew experienced 'all the feels.' However, there's a significant divide over its family-friendliness - while many praise it as perfect for kids, several parents warn it's surprisingly creepy and intense, with one 8-year-old's parent 'freaking out' during viewing.

Bro! This movie had my nephew and I experiencing all the feels. We laughed we cried we did both at the same time. If an adult is struggling watch this movie and see how a child can shape what you are going thru in your favor!

Look, I liked the movie. I thought the premise and the plot was super cool, original, and, at times, beautiful. I did not know how...creepy it would be though. Family friendly? IDK. I took my 8 yr old but omg I was freaking out for her. I feel like the editing could have toned down the intensity... Like the suspense music? It could have been toned down and the rage of audience would have been better. Good message. Execution? Needed a more family friendly lens. Did it depict grief well? Absolutely. Will it give me and my kid nightmares. Maybe.

Its masterful blend of action and emotion through tightly nuanced writing and performances elevates the film to stand out as one of the most endearing films of 2024.

Worley has adroitly assembled the mega-mash-up into an engaging whole, with the help of an amiable cast and a crack technical team.
