The Seventh Stone

About This Movie

The Seventh Stone is a curious blend of adventure and science fiction, exploring a child's perception of death through the eyes of young Christoffer. The tone is contemplative, yet there's a childlike wonder that permeates the story as he grapples with his grandfather's passing. The pacing varies, sometimes languid, as it allows for deep moments of reflection. Christoffer's determination to reach the moon—where he believes his grandfather resides—adds a unique twist to the traditional themes of loss and afterlife. The practical effects, considering the budget, are charmingly rustic, adding a tangible quality to the rocket-building scenes. Performances are earnest, capturing the innocence of childhood thoughts about mortality, which makes it a distinctive narrative within the genre.
