as always amazing animation and cinematography. seeing all the spider people is awesome and the story gets so good. only down side is pace is kinda slow and too much detail to side events

Brutally realistic depiction of war and provided an amazing lens of childhood innocence during war time. Story ties together tragically with the ending.

This movie was put together like a highschool film project from a student who think people interact like robots. The dialogue at least in English did not flow and the cuts between scenes made it very hard for any emotion to be conveyed during intense scenes. The film does not do the book justice and the acting is awkward. Enjoyable at times such as the connection between food and emotions, but even that clever symbolism will not save the movie. Dr Brown deserves the world and Tita is for the streets.
