A gorgeous production, and if it had only been silent and/or set to music (eg The Snowman) I would have utterly fallen in love with it. But the script is truly dreadful: every line is a contrived, cloying piece of therapy-speak. I'm all for an artfully written, subtle life lesson but this lays it on far too thick: we learn it's important to 'be kind' and that 'we are enough', among a hundred other maxims. I was braced to be told I must 'live my truth', though fortunately it didn't get that far. Maybe I'm a dreadful cynic, but rather than feeling enlightened and cheered I found the overall effect relentless preachy. Shame.
