4kenny General thoughts about the film: did you like it or not and why? Did you enjoy the graphic novel/anime genre? Did you mind the subtitles?

How does Marjane’s family follow and resist those restrictions at the same time? Talk about 2 things that you either liked or disliked in the film and explain why.
