"In sadness we are the most human, as it is then when we strive in hope of better. Benedict Cumberbatch is perfect for this part. He plays peculiar well, see Sherlock, so this is lovely. "

"Touching and very charming story. For ages the of this didn’t pull me in … [psychaeldic cat artist] … but it is wonderful. Great one to watch with mom. Quirky, interesting, laughable, heartfelt. Benedict Cumberbatch at his best. "
