Animation, French, Crime, Grief/Coping

There are many recent films out there with a narrative that explores loss and grieving that coincides with coming of age. This beautifully illustrated animated film falls into the category. I wasn't impressed by the story line, to be honest. Even though film is a fantasy world, I just couldn't believe in the mother or the criminals. It was a little too eccentric (and I usually love eccentric!). But I liked the movement, color, shadows, and overall design.
