A movie that turns around and stares at its audience. I loved the way it used meta narratives to create layered meanings and force the audience to think about how we all interact with disfigurement and disability. Really darkly funny too, and impossible not to love Adam Pearson.
That’s my emotional support ship’s doctor and I swear to god I will pull this man o war over if he’s injured and wants to look for bugs!!! Napoleon and the Acheron be damned I have a situationSHIP to conquer!!!
One of my favorite film soundtracks of all time (Vaughan Williams Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis you will always be famous), and props to the fake violin/cello playing that doesn’t make me want to rip my hair out. You’d be shocked how many actors/film editors can’t be bothered to make the movement of the bows and fingers actually line up with the audio track.
This review may contain spoilers. I can handle the truth.
I was maybe overly distracted with small quibbles over plot elements (SET THE TOWER ON FIRE NOW!! YOU HAD FIRE BOMBS THE WHOLE TIME!!!), but the animation was really beautiful, if a little stiff at times. Always happy to see and support 2D hand-drawn animation, tired of seeing the same Tangled-esque CGI models in every Disney/Pixar studio animation. This is PG-13, but still also like anything moving towards sophisticated and beautiful adult animation.
Likes: absolutely sick to have a character…
