For a long while I thought I was watching a live-action version of "Alice In Wonderland", or perhaps even a time-loop movie; when the elaborate plot finally comes together, it is in equal parts surprising and far-fetched. Joann Sfar's direction is top-notch; he maintains a dreamy mood throughout. Freya Mavor is a red-haired, apparently multi-lingual firecracker! **1/2 out of 4.
