Kubo and the Two Strings review: when beauty is almost more important than storytelling
Make no mistake: there has never been a stop-motion film that looks like this before Laika Entertainment has always seemed to have a little bit of a chip on its shoulder.

I've watched a few movies like this, where the plot seems as directionless as a dream, but the visuals are so equally dreamy that the plot doesn't seem to matter. I've never regretted watching one of those movies. Even if I finished it going, "Wtf just happened...?", they've always left me feeling uplifted in the way art does.
