Standout Aspects

Production

Sets so elaborate they bankrupt the emotional coherence.

Costume

Rat King looks like he raided Tim Burton's rejected sketches.

Acting

Elle Fanning acts circles around everyone while trapped in this fever dream.

Best for:Solo: So you can whisper 'what am I watching' without judgment.·Friends: Irony appreciation required; genuine enthusiasts need not apply.·Rewatch: Only to confirm you didn't hallucinate the rat-Hitler subtext.
Heads up:Disturbing: Rat King's design will haunt both children and adults.·Violence: Surprisingly grim war imagery for a family Christmas movie.
