Beautiful. Simple story about loneliness and how about how life isn't always what you think it's going to be.
Animated meditation on themes of adult life like loneliness, delusions and how rarely things go the way you would want.
Impactful animation and incredible use of mature themes.
Beautiful animation with a simple story. Very sweet.
A+ ambiance. Story is minimal. Probably a great thing to leave on in the background at a casual get-together. Easy to recap any breaks.
Beautiful. The animation is a treat along with the lack of dialogue. Ending feels a tad bit rushed though and takes away from the third act
Absolutely stunning.... a realist's and an idealist's take on magic
An animated slapstick film for grownups with a meditative quality to it: somehow, it works better than all those words put together ought to
cool animation but the experience is flat
This is the film I hold as a standard for adult animation. With almost no dialogue whatsoever, this film says so much more than most movies.
