Sunscreen 2023
Tapped that heart icon for the spectacle and design sense alone. Storytelling opinion teeters between nonsensical and profoundly metaphoric, but my main takeaway might be the realization that I’m a sucker for incomprehensible dream logic should it be visualized this magnificently. Aches of a recounting of very personal wounds that, perhaps, only the affected individual could truly decipher.

Delicate handling of subject matter, expertly animated, and thoughtful of its messaging. The focus on peer pressures, adolescence, and the objectification of female bodies isn’t shied away from in the slightest, yet avoids being too on the nose. I have yet to witness a Gobelins student film that doesn’t provoke thoughtful discussion and execute with grace, and this is no exception.

Inside Out 2 2024

The Boy and the Heron 2023
I find revisitation only reiterates my initial disconnect, a yield of little emotive response in spite of captivating visual artistry that's more than well-equipped to haunt and harrow should its written counterpart meet it halfway. There's no greater desire than to feel tugged at the heart by a piece that should (and could!) encapsulate the inescapable painfulness of navigating loss, yet I find its packed with everything but a willingness to linger long enough with such. Unfortunately neglectful of the acquaintanceship that we, as an audience, need desperately in order to feel just as interlinked, rattled, and transfixed.
