Jennie Kermode Eye for Film A mixed methods approach using mostly hand drawn animation with traditional Persian motifs keeps the focus on the narrative, and visual layering reflects the layers in the story. Rated: 4/5 Feb 6, 2025 Full Review Joe Muldoon Battle Royale With Cheese A gentle, affecting story of kindness and compassion, In the Shadow of the Cypress is a work of art.

Yash B "In the Shadow of the Cypress" is an okay short film in terms of an engaging storyline, but is really good because of the animation. I felt the style was unique and it kept me wanting to see more. I did feel the emotions of the story were there, but I felt it could have been told in a more interesting and even concise way. Overall, this isn't my personal favorite animated short from the Oscar batch this year, but it is still one I appreciate because of its stellar animation. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 01/29/25 Full Review Read all reviews
