I first saw Don Hertzfeldt's work at Spike & Ike's Festival of Twisted Animation and have been a fan ever since. Love his dark humor.
one of the most disturbing films i’ve seen. it was amazing
i wasn’t sure at first since i didn’t knew it was ., out of the ordinary. But the last part got me to cry while meditating on our futility.
One of the most heartbreaking and great movies ever put to screen.
Hard to watch at times when you remember what it’s all about, but hopeful and beautiful nonetheless. Simple yet impactful.
Just rewatched this and I cried like a goddamn baby.Life is kinda horrible/scary/sad and this is like a bandaid telling you you’re not alone
A moving, innovative, profound take on mental illness that uses remarkable techniques to tell its story.
this is my first love in cinema. i remember being 11 watching this on my little shitty android tablet
It's weird and happy and sad and beautiful and just feels a lot like life. I guarantee at least part of this will resonate with you
I am at a loss for words. No description would do this film justice, it’s something that needs to be experienced.
