      Audience Member Distinctive, though sometimes too surreal for its own good. Also, what a difference pronunciation makes: I kept hearing "princess" instead of "princes" and it really confused me! Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 01/17/23 Full Review thomas a Man, how I don't like surrealistic fantasy movies... Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member A sort of precursor to mirrormask. No swish graphics here tho, and it seems low budget. The painted backgrounds gives it a charming feel, and although it's a story been done before, visually it's very unique. Also serves as a sort of allegory for the events surrounding the berlin wall I think. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/20/23 Full Review Read all reviews Post a rating
