A researcher is tasked with transporting a mysterious case along the banks of the River Trent. With a national crisis underway, she worries that she may not be alone.
Statue in the Garden is an animated short film that has the same charm and quaintness as a Studio Ghibli movie. In the film, the protagonist, Didi, has made a great leap from her home in China to the Midlands city of Stoke-on-Trent.
I really know how to pick what reviews I take on after the Midlands Movies Awards have finished. Following on my piece on Eulogy, we have another film about a family coming to terms with loss, and the impact that grieving has on the people around you.
Death is rarely the worst part of losing someone. It is the cause of a gap; an emptiness in the shape of a person that lasts long after the funeral, after the five stages of grief, after life returns to some level of normality.
