Reviews

‘Combining a classic fairytale trajectory with a singular aesthetic that fuses Celtic and Christian mythology, this stunning film is yet another example of the rude health of contemporary animation.’
★★★★★

‘A feast for the eyes that manages to be both whimsical and sinister.’
★★★★
Alice Levick, Little White Lies
