The eccentricity got boring after a while, which is a shame because the artwork is so inviting.

It is a good story told in a vibrant, fast-paced, way, with energetic performances.

The passion for one another that comes with their love of cooking is delicate and enchanting to watch.

Overall, it is okay, with a few strong suspense scenes and, at only 82 minutes, it gets in and out efficiently.

It is touching, thought-provoking and, if this does prove to be the final cinematic treat we receive from this legend, a worthy goodbye.

Uncomplicated, simple, enjoyable, engaging, heartwarming and just plain likable, with moments of true beauty.

The resulting story is a strange mix of fantasy/action/romance, with good action and spectacular visuals that cover for its flaws.

It is amusing, whimsical, sad, funny and touching. This is absolutely one of the best movies of 2021.

The animation never becomes a distraction or softens this harrowing tale. The result feels like the perfect way to tell this moving tale.

It is quite compelling in the moment, yet Lamb didn’t say as much as it tried to. Still, I was consistently engaged.
