Review: 2019.687 (A Word for Authors)
Pro: There are lots of great slipstream moments. Like when the two tiny sisters try to buy a mattress. Beyond that, there’s a nice story about two sisters drifting apart because they’re growing up.
Con: There’s a really harsh anti-pollution message here that’s too on-the-nose, and that drags the whole thing down.
