Slice of life, with fantasy elements, and a whimsical comfort no other films can give you. It's an appeal that globally touches people's souls. A world where pirates take care of children, where bullets don't bust eardrums, where the highest form of conflict comes one hour after the film began. I don't have a problem against it, and I get the appeal so many people have over movies like it. It feels like a comfortable blanket that covers your emotions at any point in your life, but it's not for me.
I don't care for the characters, I don't care for the plot, the vibes don't appeal to me, and the movie itself felt like a boring chore to finish. It might be my mood, my need to experience something worth it, but this movie is just a vibe, plastered on 90 minutes of screen time. At least it was consistent, it had a clear vision, and a clear reason to exist, but I just don't care all that much.
I like the main character's design, but for others they have the same face, simple shading, not too complex.
There's just not much I can talk about when I can't even engage with it. The ending felt nice, but it makes me feel like it should've been shrunken to a 40-minute short film. They have all the elements necessary to make it interesting, but that's the kind of movie for me, not for what it's going for.
5/10. I can't be angry at it, would give it worse based on my boredom. However, I'll chuck it to the fact that it's probably not for me.
