The path to reincarnation comes with brutally violent detours in Tommy Kai Chung Ng’s beautiful Studio Ghibli-indebted feature. Go to Full Review Cath Clarke Guardian Jan 27
3/5
The movie is about how people ruin everything with their destructiveness, but also about the beauty of the human heart. It’s so inventive and imaginative that I wanted to love it more, but in the end found it a little bit psychologically uninvolving. Go to Full Review Katie Smith-Wong Flick Feast Jan 26
4/5
Chung’s debut feature is a bold yet beautifully animated adventure but despite its occasional moments of darkness, it dares to delve deep into the heart of humanity. Go to Full Review Edmund Lee South China Morning Post Nov 14
4/5
