About This Movie

The practical effects used for the animal training sequences are endearing, though not groundbreaking. Performances, especially from the young lead, bring a genuine innocence that resonates. It’s a story about finding oneself amid loss, making it a bittersweet journey rather than just a feel-good flick.
