Based on 46 parent reviews

Parents say this film, while visually stunning and thought-provoking, can be quite intense and complex for younger viewers, often leaving them confused or disturbed, particularly due to themes surrounding loss and illness. The narrative's slower pace and lack of action may not appeal to all children, leading many reviewers to recommend it primarily for older teens and adults who appreciate in-depth storytelling and philosophical explorations.
