I didn't have any expectations or preconceived notions before watching this movie. I didn't even know that it was based on a children's book until after it was over.
It caught me by surprise and I don't know where to start.
Acting: Ok, I'll start here. The voice acting was incredible. Every actor did an amazing job. The best though was Gaten Matarazzo as Boris. He perfectly played the character.
Animation: How beautiful is this animation? Seriously, can someone please explain to me why this looks a hundred times better than 3D CGI animation? It's absolutely gorgeous! Every shot is beautiful!
Score: Oh my goodness. The score blew me away. Every note. Every instrument. Just *chef's kiss*. I don't normally listen to score outside of a movie, but I'm definitely going to listen to this one.
Boris: Besides Gaten's phenomenal performance of Boris, can we just appreciate how adorable Boris is?! I want a Boris plushie so badly!
Conclusion: My Father's Dragon is without a doubt the best movie of 2022. I know there's a lot of people who disagree, but ignore them. I can't wait to revisit this movie again and again.
