Sinekatalog’s take
A clay-animated memoir about a boy and his cousin with cerebral palsy, touching on joy and loss. Warm and wry, it avoids easy sentimentality. Highly recommended for fans of the director's distinctive, bittersweet animation.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
