The Discreet Insensitivity of ‘Slumberland’
The cultural insensitivity of 'Slumberland' is discreet, and can be easily overlooked in CGI extravaganza.
Walkies
She thought she'd always be on the inside looking out...until a robotic dog gave her a reason to step out. Isolated by depression and anxiety, Esther spends her days watching the world pass by. After a failed attempt to connect, she makes an unexpected choice: she orders a robotic dog named Luno. It's awkward. It's weird. And somehow... it helps. As Esther ventures out with Luno, a chance meeting with another robotic dog walker sparks something real. For the first time in ages, she doesn't feel invisible. Walkies is a quiet, hopeful story about taking the first steps toward connection-and discovering you're not as alone as you thought.
