Has some nice shots – frequently did this thing where the camera would slowly pivot around two people talking which looked good and slightly added a dramatic element to it.
I like the whole aspect of like interrogating what is a real vs a simulation and it made for an interesting format but the "madness" in view become a bit too mad and a lot of the people they interrogate talk nonsense and I'm finding myself at a loss often as…
I found it really touching! The animation style is so unique and really evocative of the darkly comic mood of the film. It occasionally veered too much into kind of like listing off all the bad things that happened to the characters, but actually for the most part it balances the comedy and tragedy pretty well making the comedy hit well and enhancing the connection you get to Gracie. I think it had a lot of interesting things to say about dealing with hardships in life and told that in a really compelling way so I'd defo highly recommend.
Big Aki Kaurismäki vibes with the addition of amazing Icelandic landscapes and all comes together in what's a somewhat unique and interesting take on the road movie, albeit sometimes feeling like it's retreading the same ground.
