Madeline Brandeis was just twenty when she wrote and directed this celestial fairy tale with a child cast. The result is a fantasy that is a little rough around the edges but nevertheless extremely impressive for such a young and inexperienced filmmaker.
There’s humor, there are special effects, there’s even a brief stop-motion sequence. Quite enjoyable, especially for fans of the fantasy genre.
