This movie verse-jumped straight to the top of my all time favorites. An absolute MUST see in my opinion. I laughed, I cried and I have never seen a cinema audience so completely enthralled by a film before.

First of all: Trigger Warning! This special deals heavily with topics like depression and suicide.

While still funny, I wouldn't call this a comedy special. It is much rather a documentation about the decline of mental health during the pandemic, wrapped in layers of comedy, but also depression, desperation and hopelessness. It might be exaggerated at points, but overall it perfectly captures the feeling of isolation everyone has experienced in 2020 and the visual presentation is amazing!

If anyone will ever ask me what the pandemic was like, I might just show them this.

Honestly, so many things could have gone wrong doing a live action Pokémon adaptation but this movie did a great job of balancing the realistic and the whacky parts. The plot has a few holes, sure, but the performances we're charming, the Pokémon looked great and all in all it was just a fun movie to sit and enjoy. (Also it has Ryan Reynolds and if there are no green suits involved that is always a good time guarantee)
