I absolutely agree. I saw the film as part of a group and the people who had been set up by the marketing to expect a lighter, family-oriented film were not able to shake off that expectation and enjoy it. While that can happen with all kinds of movies, it seems to be especially damaging to dramas, perhaps because they depend so heavily on drawing the audience into a particular (and serious) frame of mind right from the start.

Had read review before hand and once I found it was more deep and a drama I then desire to see it. I can see if someone does not do a review reading of the film they will be disappointed because the advertising leads one to believe its a light hearted childs movie. Not at all very adult. I was deeply moved by the film and will see it again. Right on the money…i saw this film last night. Had read review before hand and once I found it was more deep and a drama I then desire to see it.
