I’m honestly shocked by the criticism this movie is receiving. I felt like I was reliving my awkward middle schooler stage and going through puberty. It was an accurate representation of how everything seems like it’s changing and feeling like the most misunderstood person in the world. It was the perfect depiction of the struggle of control between mother and daughter. I’m an adult and still feel like I’m fighting to prove I’m my own person and make my own decisions. This movie was so comforting and real to be about a girl that transforms into a mystical red panda.
