“Sincerity is not manipulation.”
The film risks embarrassment to make emotion communal, and that openness is harder than fashionable detachment.

Put Little Nemo: Adventures in Slumberland on trial.
Two incompatible taste archetypes. One film. Read the arguments, then issue a completely binding cultural ruling.
