Wright not only provides a visually stunning collection of classic sci-fi posters—from The Time Machine to When Worlds Collide—but he also pairs each image with witty and insightful commentary on the films themselves.

Anderson's narrative skillfully intertwines the challenges of the pandemic - familial tensions, financial worries, and the isolation of lockdown - with the escapism of a modern fairy tale. The story's whimsical elements, like the owl-headed villagers and melancholic giants, are beautifully balanced with the stark realities of Clay's life, creating a rich, multi-layered narrative.
