🎬 MovieFinder's Take
Director Franco Amurri constructs a story on the contrast between a child's perception and adult reality, using a fantastic premise to explore themes of loneliness and family neglect. The film relies on the charm of the central metamorphosis to discuss simple yet important matters.
Those who tire of cynical comedies will find here a light, touching tale where magic serves not for spectacle, but for a warm, ironic story about what children truly desire. — MovieFinder Editorial
