Fans of DiCamillo's book should be pleased with how Wang has faithfully preserved the novel's clear-eyed depiction of both pain and joy.

Thoughtful, personal drama, complex and with much to say.

A whimsical family film about longing and belonging told with gentle humanity.

A sweet film, laced with magic realism, and it tackles some rather dark themes in a way that is perfectly appropriate for young children.

Sincere rather than cynical.
