    Sweet, different, hearfelt...

    Worth checking out if you like independent movies with a strong theme, tender characters, and a solid story. It's a whimsical kind of movie that explores life and death. I believe it's something I could have watched with my whole family (perhaps 10 or 12 years and older).

    Magical-Realism

    I love magical realist movies and this one really left a great impression on me. Nowadays it's hard to find fantasy films with no superheroes or robots. I'm glad they are indies like this that can entertain but also dive into serious subjects like the afterlife.

    Unique and peculiar tone

    Gotta watch it again because there's a lot of mysteries I didn't get quite right. The comedic tone made it quite refreshing and the peculiar characters kept me engaged throughout.

    Heartwarming and fun!

    This was our family's Holiday movie and it was perfect. A heartwarming and fun movie. You really feel the connection between Pablo and his grandfather, and how much they care about each other. The story is very unpredictable with twists around every corner. The director does a great job in keeping us at the edge of our seats.

    The movie is a fun detective caper that kids will enjoy, but also keeps adult viewers fully engrossed with topics like religion, death, and the afterlife. This is a great family film.

    Unexpected Treat

    Entertaining mystery which will keep to wanting to know more. Nothing is explained, and you have to watch it to understand whats going on. Not like Hollywood films where you can predict the outcomes of everything before its even started. Good romp through emotions and the cast acted thier characters really well.

    Just put your critical hat on the shelf, open a beer and sit relax into this one.

    Well done everyone involved
