A great story that engages the viewer's emotions

I like this film as it shows how a family unit can bond despite the family suffering a tragedy. There's a plot twist at the end that makes you view the whole story in a different way which is great writing.

There are elements of wokeness with the Manticore discovering her true warrior and the mum and the Manticore having their own girl boss adventure which feels a bit unnecessary. There's also an obvious insert of representation with the lesbian female cop which knowing her sexuality does nothing to advance the plot, so why do it? However, the good writing and focus on the main storyline overshadow these politically correct moments.
