a one-sentence review of “Brave”

Basically, 60% of “Brave” was a chick flick about mother-daughter relationships, 20% was a coming-of-age story, 15% was unspeakable Lovecraftian horror in the mold of Franz Kafka’s The Metamorphosis, and the remaining 5% was a stern moral against using sorcery to resolve family conflict.
