The Swan Reviews

This book scared me shitless as a kid

This is how you make a short movie and a proper adaptation. No bullshit, no wasted time, creative translation and narration if needed.

There needs to be more like this, not stylistically, but creatively.

Respect this a ton

What a sad beautiful tragic story

I turned this on and found it captivating and utterly heartbreaking and beautiful. By the end the entire family was encapsulated and when it ended we sat in silence and just let it simmer before we began talking about it. Anderson was made for Dahls work.

this shorts are so fucking weird

Such a tragic story but at the same time had such beautiful scenes, a very good pearl to find

We

this is good. however, the single act story feels worse in Anderson's style compared to his general chapter structuring. it's great, but it just feels limited

Now this one was my absolute favorite out of all the three I watched and I loved this one so much.

It had a sad story behind it and the story was shown in such a good way which just makes me praise Wes’ filmmaking style even more.

Actually so heartbreaking and emotional

aw what a sad little bullying story :(

Quite a good film not as good as the Henry sugar one though

Really great

One of the better Dahl-Anderson shorts. Still more of an Anderson fan than Dahl, though.

6/10

7/19

I honestly just love the story telling, animation, and cinematography more than anything else even if it was short. And I love Ralph Fiennes.

Pretty interesting but kinda hard to follow
