The cumulative effect is more that of a handsomely crafted museum piece than a moving, emotional journey.
Robert Abele, Los Angeles Times

Top critics, in their words
Fresh
Tom Shu-Yu Lin tackles death, divorce, loneliness and first love with the eye of a painter and the heart of a child.
Jeannette Catsoulis, New York Times
Rotten
A somewhat clunky family movie about childhood escapism, alternating a little too conveniently between the grim and the adorable.
Tom Keogh, Seattle Times

Fresh
A whimsical coming-of-age tale that takes a common theme - growing pains - and transforms it through exquisitely rendered CG effects and a heartfelt storyline.
Anita Li, Toronto Star
