An incredible story about our life. So many problems are described here, so many topics are raised that are still relevant in our time. I finally saw a good conflict between a parent and a child, I was so moved by the development of their relationship that I worried from the very first seconds. The theme of war is raised, it is so merciless to everyone, military propaganda is shown and how they do not like those who go against the system. Guilherme del Toro did a great job and for this I personally say THANK YOU to him, because nowadays you don't see many cartoons like this. And I'd like to separately note the work of the entire film crew, so much effort was invested in this creation that I'm ready to give them a standing ovation. This film is definitely worth watching not only for children, but also for adults.

Of the good. Good acting, they did not infuriate, they were charismatic and filled with passion. The work of the editor and cameraman is excellent; special praise goes to them. The costumes were well chosen and it was a pleasure to look at them. Of the minuses: incredibly long dialogues that make you fall asleep. Boring and, in my opinion, 1.40 hours is still too much for such a film. You see, I'm not against films that drag on slowly, but when it's interesting to watch it (as an example, I can give "Gone with the Wind" or "Killers of the Flower Moon"). There is also no logic in some moments (for example, I can't imagine how anyone else lives like this in the 21st century, especially in such a developed country as the USA; it seems my worldview has not yet reached such an acceptance). Another point is that they are ordinary villagers who work every day. Look after the children. How can they think like philosophers? Even children think like this, at the level of an experienced philosopher, it is beyond the comprehension of the mind and this is a big minus.

I watched this film purely because it received an Oscar and decided to watch all the films that received an Oscar this year, if not for this fact, I am sure I would never have watched this creation. Let's start with the positives: the costumes are really well chosen, the picture is not bad (but realizing that most of the film is drawn on a computer, this wealth is lost). Of the minuses: crappy acting (not all of them, but at least the main character of this film), it was so unrealistic and artificial that I understand that a child would have acted better. Sometimes the visuals suffered during action scenes. The plot is extremely uninteresting and boring.

As a result, I do not recommend viewing this "creation", believe me, wasting your time on this crap is not respecting yourself.
