With almost no lasting buzz and soft box office, this one could be a tough watch. Keep your phone handy.
Based on critics, audiences, awards, box office and buzz. Details below.Is it for you?
- Who'll love it
- Great for anyone who likes a story with a soundtrack worth keeping and animal lovers. The music is woven into the story, not just laid on top. An animal steals a fair few scenes.
- The mood
- Light and funny, feel-good.
- The pace
- Paced for all ages, at 5 min. Short enough for a weeknight.
- What might put you off
- No age rating on record, so check it first for young kids.
- Skip it if you can't get past animation (your loss).
A young surveyer, new to Ontario, encounters the blackflies. Over and over again, he encounters those blackflies.
