Heartbreaking in its immediacy, followed by the necessary yet intrinsically helpful fantastical coping mechanisms. At points the real-world horror outweighs the fantastical elements of a similar genre, but the whimsical nature of it all certainly doesn't detract from Estrella's purpose (which is defined in another heart-shattering segment), rather it adds to it, even the rough level of CGI contributes a charm that is clear to the audience to be fantastical yet sits directly on top of its gritty setting like a child's drawings, musings, and scribbles in their otherwise droll and depressing school texts.
