William Schwartz Book & Film Globe Brief and existentialist in its depiction of an olde tyme sailor hurtling to and from the heavens in the wake of a massive explosion. Mar 16, 2023 Full Review Alan Ng Film Threat It shows how an animated film’s medium can enhance its story. Though the short is computer generated, filmmakers Tilby and Forbis employ a soft-edge watercolor art style, and it’s absolutely gorgeous. Rated: 8/10 Feb 8, 2023 Full Review Read all reviews
