Ann It was honestly a really good movie overall it just felt like we was back being little watching this movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 10/16/22 Full Review Kauê T Um filme Épico com história legal, piadas engraçadas e um filme maravilhosamente bobo. Enquanto a casa esconde uma história linda e triste por trás, os outros personagens são bem agradáveis! Só não dou 5 estrelas pois no mesmo nível que eu gosto do filme, tem titãs como Shrek e Toy Story, mas isso é uma Obra prima Boba! Assista! Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 07/20/25 Full Review Isabella D The film presents a remarkably authentic portrayal of the adolescent dynamic, capturing the behavioral nuances of young teenagers with both comedic precision and psychological accuracy. The movie’s depiction of gender-specific interactions among the protagonists feel genuinely observed rather than manifactured, reflecting the awkaward authenticity of early social navegation. While the chemistry between the three main characters is undebiably engaging and drives the narrative foward effectively, the screenplay occasionally relies too heavily on circumstancial bonding—their “we are about to die” perspective—without fully exploring the deeper foundations that would naturally cement such frienships beyond the immediate crisis. This shortcoming becomes particularly apparent when considering their camaraderie, while believable in its immaturity and ractionary nature, it lacks the layered complexity that would elevate their relationships from plot coincidence to genuine character development. This becomes allthe more essential given the film’s ambition to resonate with both kids and adults, aiming for more than just a “feel-good” experience. DJ’s characterisation as the most adult-like among the three protagonists serves as a crucial narrative anchor that reinforces the movie’s broader thematic concerns. His mature demeanor, which strengthens throughout the movie, positions him as the natural mediator between the impulsive world of childhood and the complex landscape of adulthood. A role that becomes essential when confronting Constance’s trapped spirit. This characterisation is not merely arbitrary but strategically aligned with the film’s central message about the necessity of perspective in healing wounds. DJ’s relative maturity also allows him to understand both the pain driving Constance’s rage and the innocent nature of childhood mischief, making his chracter uniquely qualified to bridge the gap between the conflict. Moreover, the film’s most sophisticated achievment lies in its deliverate construction of generational contrasts, which serves both as a narrative device and thematic foundation. The interplay between childhood chaos, adolescent dimwitdness, and adult responsability creates a layered social commentary that extends far beyond convetional horror tropes. Constance’s tragic backstory—her death resulting not from malicious intent but from the cruel thoughtlessness of children’s pranks and sociatal mockery of her physical appearance—establishes a profound meditation on the destructive power of social ostracism and internalized shame. Though we don’t get so see much of her character, her obesity functions as both literal and metaphorical weight, representing the accumulated burden of a lifetime spent as a spectacle in the circus and the psychological trauma of existing in a world that reduces her humanity to her physical form. The love story between Constance and Mr. Nebbercracker becomes a poignant counterpoint to this cruelty, as his ability to perceive her inner and external beauty sands in stark contrast to society's judgment. Thei relationship, tragically cut short during the construction of what shoukd have been their home, transforms the house itself into a monument of unfufilled happiness and unresolved grief. The movie’s central message emerges through this generational framework: when adults remain imprisoned by unresolved wounds, they often mirror the very immaturity they hope to correct, leading to interactions with children that are not only misguided, but ultimately destructive. Creating cycles that can only be broken by the balanced perspective of adolescence, that crucial development stage that bridges innocence and maturity with the wisdom of understanding both perspectives.
