I did not know what to expect when watching this movie so I went it it completely blank and I loved the way the movie unravelled. It exceeded my expectation.
Do not misunderstand, this is not a religious movie. It is a slice of life movie about a school girl who just wants to understand the meaning of life and death to cope with the thought of losing her mother. If you allow your mind to be open, there are many layers to this film that to me makes it very relatable. I think the various references of beliefs made the movie a lot more inclusive and it shows how similar we all are. It also challenges the concept that your religion is what you practice, not who you are. You can be curious but still love your beliefs.
If you are easily offended with movies that challenge your thought and perspective than it is not for you. To me an A++ movie that deserved more recognition than scrutiny.
