Movie Favorite

"A rare animated film that has the agility to balance melancholy, terror, beauty, and heart with grace. Has more to say about the human condition using hand-drawn rabbits than most live-action films do with flesh-and-blood homo sapiens. They used to show this around Easter on CBS—I love that. The dreamy impressionistic backdrops. The wonderfully gratifying finale. The song “Bright Eyes” gets me every time. "

This story was so sad, but it made me more angry than anything. Just the thought of what happened all those years ago, the devastation and horror, honestly gets my blood boiling. As depressing as this it was, for Sarah and Julia, I didn't cry, which was what I wanted, but I was still moved. The ending felt lackluster, yet it was real, raw, so any other ending wouldn't have fit.

Dont judge a book by its cover

I thought I was really clever and sussed a twist but I was absolutely wrong. Emma Mason has bravely attempted a colloquial style novel, very hard to achieve well and yet achieves it with aplomb. Brilliant twisty narrative about twins and resentment leading to murderess blood lust. There are so many crime books it's refreshing to read something a little different. An incredible debut.
