"Someone one recommended this to me. I finally decided to watch it. It’s from a perspective I haven’t seen much. Also the animation is so wonderful and unique. I enjoyed seeing the girl grow up. Great movie. The mature parts felt natural and didn’t feel forced. I could say a lot more. But for movies I really enjoyed I tend to keep it short."

"Watched it two times. I don't know why but there is something about this movie that appeals me every time gets me maybe because I like the way Marji acts and think I don't know she is so relatable"

"Really beautifully animated. And a fascinating look at a time and place not many people know about who aren’t old enough to remember or from that part of the world. Note: It’s in French but subtitled. "
