About
You’ll likely enjoy this if you want an offbeat, heartfelt romance with humor, melancholy, and a modern-fairytale vibe, closer in spirit to The Giant Mechanical Man than a typical rom-com; Not for you if you dislike morbid premises or unrealistic turns.
Pros: quirky modern-day fable; sweet romantic tone; touching father-son bond | Cons: implausible setup; morbid moments; uneven acting
