I think this movie really depends on your taste, but I loved it. Such an unique drawing style and the music is perfect. This is definitely a movie I'll re-watch a couple of times.

It’s easy to get lost in the fantastic animation, but to me an even bigger selling point is the outstanding sound mixing and score. Technically it’s really something special and completely distinct from other animation studios. In terms of story it also rejects a lot of story conventions found in animated kids films. It subverts the hero’s journey, there are deeper layers about the history of Ireland and some of the story beats can get quite dark (or even abstract). It’s not necessarily unsuited for kids, but they’ll probably get more out of a Disney movie. I wish it took ten more minutes to flesh out some of its more skeletal characters, but this is a must watch for those who are into experimental animation. 7.5/10

Wow, this is a piece of art. I am not particular an animation movie watcher I guess, that doesnt mean I don't don't like them, but there is only so many stuff you can watch. But this one has taken my breath away. I couldn't shut my eyes, this was just so mesmerizing and pretty, one of a kind. Also, the story very sweet but also very dark. There is much stuff to think about, and I for sure will rewatch this movie more than just once. Literally me watching this movie: www.youtube.com/watch?v=UGdcnt01Oco

the second half of the movie is a little bit to fast paced for my liking, it could've benefited from more time to flesh out Brendan journey.
