Kevin P Such a riveting portrayal of dementia that’s beautiful, charming, and funny as it is haunting and devastating. The narration feels so relatable with its fine little details of the main character’s POV thoughts and minute observations. It’s the little parts that count and really add up to the sum of its parts. It’s a visually and audibly stunning film with amazing editing that really puts you into Bill’s shoes and feels like the ultimate experience of the human condition and our grappling with our own mortality and finite presence on this Earth. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 01/26/25 Full Review Dave S If you can somehow imagine a collaboration on an animated film featuring stick figures with a script by Charlie Kaufman and plenty of imagery provided by avant-garde filmmaker Ken Brakhage, you’ll have a pretty good idea of what you’re getting into with Don Hertzfeldt’s It’s Such a Beautiful Day. Without giving too much away, Bill lives in a world of daily routines, but finds his world altered by a mysterious illness, his relationship with his ex-girlfriend, and his tumultuous past. Despite the at times simplistic visuals, it’s a surreal meditation on themes such as memory, death, dementia, changing perspectives, life, death, love, loss and much more, all touched on over a scant 62-minute running time. Relentlessly insightful, one can’t help but think how much more can be gained from multiple viewings. Rated 4.5/5 Stars •  Rated 4.5 out of 5 stars 12/28/24 Full Review Leaburn O A surprisingly deep stick man contemplates his existence. It really is worth an hour of anyone’s time. Watched on BiliBili. Rated 4/5 Stars •  Rated 4 out of 5 stars 11/27/24 Full Review Matias S I saw this movie like 2 days ago after hearing all sorts of praise about it. And…this movie is a masterpiece, and it might be a top 10 if not top five movie. It’s so deep, emotional, creepy, etc. if you haven’t seen it, you must watch it at least once. Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/11/24 Full Review Todd H One of my favorite films of all time. The way Don is able to connects the audience with what Bill is going through and just the beauty of life and what makes it special and unique for everyone, is extraordinary. It's such a beautiful movie Rated 5/5 Stars •  Rated 5 out of 5 stars 09/08/23 Full Review Mikey H If you don't have this Blu-Ray I couldn't recommend it more. This is my favorite thing ever made.
