The Boy, The Mole, The Fox, And The Horse Review: Life can be pretty difficult to make sense of and the hurdles we face can sometimes make everything seem too blurry confusing you to an extent you do not think you can come back from. Life is full of labyrinths and mountains that one needs to cross onto the next labyrinth and another mountain and it keeps going on.
Things can get depressing sometimes as it is human nature to strive for something better and failure causes a temporary or in worse cases a permanent halt.
These feelings can house themselves deep into our consciousness and make their presence known like an old joint pain that wouldn’t just go away. Stories help us, and the characters that resonate with us help us realize things that are often hard to get a hold of, normally and that makes the power of reading so illuminating that it can light the places where even light cannot reach.

With a runtime under just 35 minutes, the film managed to capture the human nature of trying and failing, the feelings of inferiority, and the sense of community, all intertwined in the form of hope and love. Some life lessons are better understood by stories and this one is just tremendously rich in that sense.
Final Verdict: 4.8/5
