Newt's movie review
It's a movie about getting older. From a parent's perspective, it's watching your children grow up and make their own mistakes. From the child's perspective, it's growing up and watching the people around you turn into real people instead of your elders. And from the reviewer's perspective, it's like listening to a narrative film and watching paint dry in real time.
