Rating Summary
The Legend of Ochi is a beautifully shot, well-paced film that suffers from the writer/director being too close to the material. The attempted emotional beats may be meaningful to him, but they aren't translated to the final product. However, if it weren't for some unfortunate language, it could still have been a fun little diversion to take the kids to. Too bad.
