Based on 15 parent reviews

Parents say the film presents a beautiful story with important messages about friendship, empowerment, and standing up against societal issues, but it also contains elements that some may find objectionable, such as blasphemy and depictions of violence. While performances, particularly by one lead actress, are praised, others feel it glosses over deeper themes present in the source material and may not be suitable for all audiences due to its intense subject matter.
