I'm guessing you're a bit restrained from talking in more depth about some of the themes since the film hasn't released yet (such a cool opportunity!) but I'd be interested to hear more about if you think the film represents a wise or unwise vision for how to navigate grief and suffering. Do you have any reservations about how they handled it?

Great question! I was trying to guard from spoilers but I do think the overall message of processing grief is a positive one. The basic message is that grief cannot simply be ignored/buried/etc. it must be talked about and adults/parents really must lead the way in this process. I thought the movie displayed healthy ways to process and had no concerns with their conclusions. I hope that helps. Thanks again for your question, Zak!

That’s great and good to hear, John. Sounds like a solid family film (maybe for my older kiddos!)
