Takes up an awful lot of your time for a one-joke movie, especially when the joke is basically "that belongs in Pseud's Corner LOL".
I didn't doubt Roberto Benigni's sincerity, and I don't doubt Folman's either. I do very much doubt that a magic-realist cartoon fable presenting "Kitty" - imaginary diary addressee of the world's most famous Holocaust victim - as a fact-finding YA girlboss could ever have resulted in anything but ghoulish kitsch. Would still be keen to see exactly this gorgeous animation and music applied to practically any other topic.
The closest thing to a live-action Wallace and Gromit, which isn't quite the compliment it may seem (the "Animations" part of Aardman Animations is hardly incidental). Still, its insistently homely, small-scale niceness may yet represent this country's last best hope.
