While the children are permitted a measure of psychology, the older characters, especially Amber and Jack’s mopey, klutzy father (overplayed by Tony Hale), are treated as earnest mouthpieces for the story’s morals.

It also has a strong emotional core and it sensitively and intelligently delivers a heartfelt message about loss and how we process grief.

4/5

Hale, best known for comic TV roles in Arrested Development and Veep, proves himself to be a gentle and subtle dramatic actor, especially in one-on-one scenes with the impressively gifted Belle.

Without suited execs and random focus groups sanding off the rugged edges central to its themes, Sketch feels uncompromised in its vision and genuine in its intent.

Definitely great for kids to young teenagers. I would have loved this movie if it was released in the early 2000’s. Maybe not the best for teens to adults but I would still say it’s worth a watch for how original and well done the movie it.
