I wanted to like this but it is just too fairytaleish for my tastes; even though I like fairytales. It's a reworking of the classic Ugly Duckling/misfit eventually being accepted for what they is kinda thing. None of it feels realistic and you might expect that, given it's a fairytale but the emotional grab isn't there. The tall house on stilts made of pallets is good and there are a few interesting sequences that help to establish the vibe but, ultimately, I was left thinking: what's the point? I want to be transported to a fairytale story or I want to be intrigued by a clever plot or I want a rollercoaster ride of adrenaline. I want to be entertained, in some way, and this wasn't it, for me. Maybe it will play well with it's home audience.
