Jay W "I Lost my Body" is split into two main stories. The one that gives the movie its title is about a disembodied hand that wanders around the city looking for its home. Along the way the hand is attacked by rats, pigeons and falls down a whole lot. The other story is a more run of the mill rom com set up. A pizza delivery boy hits it off with a girl while talking through an apartment building intercom. The boy then tracks down the girl to get to know her better and hijinks ensue. Starting with the hand story: It is difficult to root for the hand; it takes several falls but walks away unharmed. It made me think, is there anything that could actually hurt this hand? The hand also kills a bird and nest of eggs, so it isn't the most likable of protagonists. It is also unclear what the goal of the hand is. Is it trying to find its way back to its body? If that's the case, it could have been done a lot easier. What is sad about the movie is the part with the hand walking around like it's "Thing" from the Addams Family is the more unique and engaging part of the story. The story about the romance, is pretty frustrating and forgettable. It is the same dumb "our whole relationship is based on a lie" cliché that I am sick to death of seeing. But the reaction on this lie is likely the dumbest. Instead of being a pizza delivery boy, he says he's a sushi delivery boy. Oh no? And yes, I get the "message" the movie is going for. Its talks of destiny and trying to go a new path are not lost on me. But a good message does not a good movie make. This movie is well animated and unique in some ways. But on the other hand...its positives do not outweigh its negatives. Rated 1.5/5 Stars •  Rated 1.5 out of 5 stars 12/02/24 Full Review Cristian s Una historia de superación, bastante plana pero que entretiene. Una animación bastante simple pero interesante, especialmente porque parece (en su mayoría) realizada a mano. Linda banda sonora que es bastante crucial en su desarrollo. Tiene algún concepto creepy (si, estoy hablando de cuando sigue a la chica) y resulta predecible en general. Esta bien pero no creo que sea para todo el mundo.

Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 08/06/24 Full Review Ian W The story lines don't join up to the end. The hand roaming through Paris is plain silly (and boring). We're supposed to feel sorry for a stalker? You get locked up in this country for that sort of behaviour. I mean the film was "OK". But methinks a few critics fawned all over it and the pack followed suit. It's the Emperors New Clothes - but wait, get this suckers - it's animated AND in French. So it just has to be fantastic! Right? Err... No, not really. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/28/24 Full Review Carol Original and captivating. Great animation! Wonderful movie!
