It's crazy how any small detail can be destructive in any environment we live in, and it's all so simple and real. Leonie Benesch gives a superb performance as the protagonist. Certainly one of the best films of the year.

This would obviously be the case but it’s insane how good this looks. So much feeling in it all. No animated ballot should be submitted without it.

This is such a spectacular film. The story is great, it’s acted very well. The artistic direction just elevates it even more. I wanna go to a cabbage party now
