Life can only be understood backwards, but we have to live it forwards.“
All the charm of a Aardman Animations film… but rude!
I had an incredibly engaging and emotionally complex experience with this one. The film masterfully balances life’s harsh realities with the whimsy and charm of its unique world. The animation style—particularly how it warps and reflects real-life objects—worked exceptionally well for me and kept me enthralled throughout.
As the story reaches the end of the third act, it plunges to such a deep low that I found myself wondering, "How are they going to pull this together?" Yet, they truly did. While I found the climax slightly convenient, it was undeniably heartfelt.
At its core, this film is a thoughtful meditation on grief and the necessity of moving forward. It carries a fearless quality that makes it all the more impactful.
