This was a very beautiful movie. The art was beautiful, the story was beautiful, and even the theme was beautiful.
The art was almost comparable to that of ghibli, except more expressive. It wasn't just a plus, it actually helped to set the entire tone of the movie and even just scenes on their own. The laughing and the crying of the mother made it clear that this was going to be a heartwarming movie, but the nearly continuous expression of the daughter (or others around her) gave the tone more nuanced.
The story was one where I feel many people could find a part they relate
...
to. There are many characters all with different experiences which allow you to attach yourself to any of them, while still feeling like you can at least understand the main character.
The lesson is unsurprisingly about love and acceptance not just towards family, but also towards yourself. This tends to be a repetitive narrative throughout the industry, however, this was such a personal take that it almost felt new. I want to make it clear that this was my personal opinion on what the theme was. This movie felt like an art piece hanging on a gallery where you could almost interpret any theme you needed from it.
It was very moving, as by the end I felt as though I had been there experiencing the story alongside the characters. In fact, I found myself wishing there was more. This isn't because it didn't end well, or because it didn't feel correct. It was just such a journey that I wish it went on forever.
