User's review

We took our three-year old grandaughter; definitely NOT a movie for very small children. She was bored or distracted by turns. A bit scary too. "I couldn't watch that cat" she said. Shifts in the story line are not easy to follow, and some prior awareness of the vison quest and other mythological elements would be helpful for viewers of all ages. Disjointed - although the shifts are a lot like the varied experiences of life, the focus of consciousness shifts between too many different characters. The narration is beautiful, but seems more like a voice from the sky rather than a storyteller. More narrative lines might help to glue the story together, and that topic might be a really good one for a discussion with your 12 year old...
