| Showings |
Forcibly separated from her twin brother when they are orphaned, a melancholic misfit learns how to find confidence within herself amid the clutter of misfortunes and everyday life.
It’s the kind of thing that would seem too cruel to be cute in real life, but is somehow redeemed here by the crudeness of Elliot’s clay, which loves its lumpy characters and finds a wealth of mottled beauty in a world that often seems ugly by design.
★★★★
There’s an ingenuousness and innocence to Memoir of a Snail, a family-entertainment approachability that belies a strange intensity.
★★★★
