While we are at reviews: on Christmas Eve we watched “The Boy and the Heron”
Wow was that a weird film. The first 20-30 minutes made it look like a completely different story, and I think I would have preferred if it had just stayed with the story of a boy who deals with war trauma, loss of a family member, and adjusting to a new environment.
In a way I can understand that foreign world to be symbolic of some things that happen in the real world in parallel, but generally it was taking all the time where I would have liked to see Mahito come to terms with his circumstances and his new family while dealing with them more directly.
