While older viewers will value the spiritual undertones and moral conundrums Roz presents, children will be enthralled by her exploits.

When the outside world shows up looking for Roz in its last act, the film injects some action and suspense. This culminates in a strong ending that is both moving and provocative, preparing the audience for possible sequels and providing a satisfying emotional resolution.
