It's a pretty damn rad flick. I've been psyched for it for a while, and yelled at my mom a lot after she saw it early at the Toronto Film Festival this past September.

It was truly beautiful, and sad. The only thing that stopped this really damn good film from being really great was that all of the characters were extremely static. They were all classic character types that all remained unchanged for the duration of the film. It worked because it was basically a dark fairy tale, but it did wind up holding the true impact back a bit.
