Kalissa H It’s a good short story, however I found it hard to watch because I felt sorry for the swan and Peter. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/14/25 Full Review Koen H Incredible short story, perfectly brought in a brilliant cinematic setting Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/31/25 Full Review Jay W The moral of the story: some people are just jerks. I've never hated two characters more that I never even got to see. I enjoyed the other Wes Anderson Roald Dahl shorts. The quirky narration, 4th wall breaking and stage setting was unique. This is the one that took that a step too far. This comes across more like a glorified audio book with some added visuals. Film is a visual medium, you should "show not tell". But this short does not go with that. I could forgive its unconventional story telling if the story was worth telling, but this story is simply not worth telling. I see why Roald Dahl kept this in a book of ideas and didn't finish it. Rated 1/5 Stars •  Rated 1 out of 5 stars 11/20/24 Full Review Georgan G Delightful short film about a boy being bullied by 2 bigger boys. Their terrible fun is heartbreaking, but the narration & portrayal makes it all worth while. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 04/08/24 Full Review Vitoria F Com cenários mais simples, não atrai tanto o olhar quanto seu predecessor, mas a qualidade da narrativa, com sua gradual construção de suspense, mantém a atenção do espectador e a curiosidade de se ver até o fim. Apesar de triste, é uma bela estória bucólica. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/14/24 Full Review Tyler G These Anderson-directed interpretations of Dahl are really cool experiments in how to narrate and present stories.
