Strings doesn't have a great story, perhaps it's kept intentionally in the safe ground of legend. But when it comes to realizing a world which's habitants are wooden puppets tied with strings that extends to sky, it takes every bit of attention to make the notion meaningful, inventive and felt. All in all it's a unique experience.

I get what they were going for, and it works for a while, but the story is so predictable and the characters so eye-rollingly stupid that it eventually just got on my nerves.

Okay this perhaps isn't quite child-friendly, but I really love how original this feels, more born out of an Eastern-European puppetry tradition than anything Denmark had made up to this point. It was dark an high-reaching and I liked it.

Very slow, with unoriginal story but technically brilliant with some good visuals. Easier to admire than enjoy.

Not for kids, and not for those who don't like slow, but beautiful themes and music. This story would not have worked with "real" people, so the use of marionettes worked wonderful with this film. I quite enjoyed the imagery and how cruelty begets cruelty. As well as how winning a war could have it's downfalls. The love between man and woman, woman and child, and siblings were quite feeling. This is a definite LIKE in my book.
