All about the atmosphere and isolation created by lack of structure, traffic and noise. Filmmaking also holds its own with great combination of visual effects, camera work and even puppeteering.

Cool shots and inviting narration but struggles to get the winning hand. Editing, musical score and sound editing are all out of sync with these characters.

A crowd-pleaser that is basically an animated film come to life. Shifts from a bleak entrance to something more comedic and warmer and the visual effects are implemented smartly, never too egregiously.

Florence Pugh and Scarlett Johansson, David Harbour comedically, make the material seem much more interesting than it actually is on the page. Competent all around but the action never feels dangerous.

Stick around for the whole review for this rather pointless after-Frowneys scene, that will tell you that more reviews are coming, even though you already knew that.
