About

You’ll likely enjoy this if you like gentle, emotional family fantasies such as A Letter to Momo or The Secret World of Arrietty; Not for you if you want fast action or very broad comedy.

Pros: warm emotional story; charming ghostly touches; uplifting growth arc | Cons: some unrealistic moments; mature themes for kids; uneven character behavior
