Ida Who Sang So Badly Even the Dead Rose Up and Joined Her in Song

About This Movie

Ida Who Sang So Badly Even the Dead Rose Up and Joined Her in Song is quite an interesting piece. The fantasy elements are woven into this odd little world where a child’s belief can almost shape reality. Ida, this ten-year-old, is charmingly oblivious to her lack of musical talent, yet her passion is contagious. The atmosphere is steeped in a whimsical melancholy, perfectly capturing the innocence of childhood amidst the backdrop of a graveyard. The practical effects used for the spectral choir are surprisingly effective, adding to the eerie yet heartwarming vibe. I’d say the pacing is a bit uneven but that reflects Ida’s own journey – a mix of determination and the unpredictability of childhood. The performance is endearing in its rawness, making it distinctive in its approach to themes of love, loss, and the power of belief.
