The "silent" portion of the film was neat, but it wasn't very long or silent. The characters called out one another's names with very obvious emotional inflection and the music also told you exactly how to feel just in case you didn't get it. If that is challenging art then so is Pikachu's Big Vacation (which was also a pretty good film).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
