As I haven't read the book-comic book, I can't say if it's a good adaption or not. But the animation as it is is good enough. The story is very truthful and you can easily be moved by it. The characters are simple, ordinary people, who try to deal with the hardships that life throws at them. The couple's dynamics were great and the family drama was moving. I loved that the movie kept it real and didn't try to idolised the situation or soften it. The drawings were really good, with soft colours that reminded of a winter tale rather than a fantasy fairy tale. So, my rating is 4 out of 10.
