This movie has a very unique style. It's a stop motion clay animation... but with human hands intervening in key parts and building the sets in real time ! And the hand belongs to the author and interacts and dialogues with his grandmother who is one of the clay characters. The result is deeply personal and very touching.
On a superficial level, it's a story of immigrants and their struggle with racism and integration, but that's actually only a minor point, the main one being the continuity of family while coping with displacement, extreme poverty, fascism...
The movie is given as PG-13 but my 9yo franco-italian (like in the movie!) enjoyed it.

I rarely comment on movies because I don't usually think I can bring anything that hasn't been said before. But I just read a bunch of reviews and nobody mentions how predictable this movie is. From the very beginning I kept thinking: "oh, this is going to happen now", and then it did. After cycling this a good 5 or 10 times, I gave up on the movie after 40 minutes (less than halfway). Sorry, but after living through Outreau, there's nothing new that this movie bring to the table and its sheer predictability is its downfall.
