Beyond me. - My Life as a Courgette review by CB
Love this genre of film, but this one simply passed me by. Can’t explain my reticence really, but I simply lost interest after 20 minutes.

A delight - My Life as a Courgette review by AL
Unsure at the beginning, but a real delight. Kids enjoyed it, although they were originally confused by shape of people in it. Surprised it only lasted an hour, but I've watched plenty of films that could have easily lost an hour.
