About
You’ll likely enjoy this modern, fantasy-tinged adaptation if you want a comforting story of healing and nurturing; Not for you if you prefer faithful, straightforward classic adaptations like The BFG or Nanny McPhee.
Pros: lush, magical garden visuals; family-friendly grief themes; strong adult heartfelt moments | Cons: uneven focus; theme may feel hokey; some characters feel underdeveloped
