The actual character arc of the movie involves both the daughter and the mother having an existential crisis about how to find value and meaning in life, and that crisis resolves in the form of "being kind to others" being a form of personal salvation.
The frantic pacing and the chaotic vibe and the talking rocks make the movie engaging and fun, but the emotional core of the story - about how to make sense of life in chaotic and confusing times, and the idea of kindness as a way to fight, instead of giving up - is I think what helps the movie really resonate with people in a deeper way than just spectacle.
