It's whimsical, charming, modest and almost slight.

While this is a twee film that leads us down a familiar trail, it undeniably warms your heart and puts a smile on your face, and sometimes that’s exactly what we need at the movies.

Rated: 3/4

It is delicately told, sweet but never sugary.

This heartwarming Irish crowd-pleaser is a twee yet modestly affecting examination of grief, loneliness, and coping mechanisms.

This isn’t a film about magic, nor is it one about spirituality. It’s one about being present and remembering that each day is about growth.
