Laura Clifford Reeling Reviews Working with almost life size figures painted on walls, limbs extending outwards in a '3D' feel, this painstakingly animated short constantly awes with changing textures and odd perspective. Rated: A Jan 27, 2015 Full Review Read all reviews

Audience Member Oscar nominated animated short. This British short about two brothers disagreeing about how to take care of their ailing mother includes mixed media. There are dollhouse miniature models filmed with stop-motion, hand-drawn characters brought into perspective even though drawn on 2D surfaces in the 3D environment, as well as paper cut-outs that allow the characters to bridge the gap between 2D and 3D. The style shows skill, but doesn't exactly mesh to avoid being a distraction to the story. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/01/23 Full Review Audience Member This film is a little funny but mostly sad but pretty good. The animation style is very different and interestingly done. Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 02/09/23 Full Review Read all reviews
