The movie, despite being based on a book, has a unique concept. A robot surviving and adapting in the wild is both whimsical and thoughtful. It captures the viewer immediately.

The idea of an emotionally detached robot slowly becoming more human than machine through her interactions is intriguingly captivating. Not to forget the gorgeous illustrations and animation Subtle but powerful themes about nature, empathy, and what it truly means to be alive.

The only flaw is that some characters feel as if they are not quite developed for instance Pink Tale is a fun character and seems to have a nice background story, but it was only insinuated. Overall, the movie is heartwarming.

Mike Flanagan is by far one of the most iconic horror directors. Granted, it is not platonically based on the novel by Edgar Allan Poe but it has the series has its own touch. Every minute of this series worships Poe but rather than directly translating the author's tale of a man whose internal rot is symbolized by his crumbling abode, the director (M. Flanagan) uses the short story as what could almost be described as the wraparound segment in an anthology, with each chapter tackling another one of Poe's fables while mummified in the wrappings of 'The Fall of the House of Usher.' What comes out of that mummification is some of Flanagan's sharpest work. The scenes are extremely gory, and the performances are impeccable.

The series is alike any other teen series, it covers important sides of life especially for teenagers going through hardships or being unable to fit right in anywhere. While the overall concept of the show is basic (angsty teens with nothing in common realize they have everything in common), the idea of focusing on a different common denominator such as kleptomania does capture attention right away. Relationships are at the heart of this show. From romantic to familial, there is a taste of the nowadays' many types of relationships. Furthermore, it is refreshing that the girl's friendship takes precedence. Every other relationship in their lives hinges on the bonds they build with each other. A a nice change of pace it is.
